Our Mission Trip to Pawhuska, Oklahoma was great. We had an awesome week serving the Osage Nation. Students did ministries like: kids club, sports camp, nursing home, feeding kitchen, lawn work, clothes closet, painting, and more. Therefore we’re counting our week as four ministry opportunities… 16-19.
The week ended with an amazing foot washing service. May we wash the feet of those around us… Loving God, Loving Others, Serving People.
For our 14th Ministry Opportunity students served lunches to the World Changers serving in B’ham this week. For four days students loaded up great meals and blessed the 22 people working hard in North B’ham. Thanks to all who served.

For our 13th Ministry Opportunity we attempted to serve with the Miracle League of Gardendale, a baseball league for children with special needs. We went, but got rained out.
