The Final Countdown...


After being commissioned before GEBC on Sunday, May 23rd- our team is less than 2 1/2 weeks away from being in Rapid City for our missions trip. We have one final team meeting with both the students and parents of those attending the trip set for Tuesday June 8th at 7pm in the Student Ministries room at GEBC. We will have a time for the parents to hear about "how to help debrief your student at home", last minute Q & A about the trip, and time dedicated to prayer for our group. We hope to see you all there!

One Month...


In one month we will be half way through our journey in South Dakota. Time is flying by and I can't wait to see how God is going to use this trip in the lives of the people we encounter, our group, and those of you following us back home! Our teaching theme for the week is "Be A Hero". The challenge will be for us all to live out our faith in ways like many of the Heroes of Faith did (Hebrews 11). Here are a few ways in which you can pray for our team as we prepare, travel to, and experience South Dakota:

-Safety in our travels and service projects
-Team bonding and unity throughout the trip
-Good connection with middle school students from Bible Fellowship Church
-Opportunities to share our faith (in word and action)
-That we would learn a lot from God's word throughout the week
-That God would open our eyes to a hurting world
-That we would come back changed!
-For the people of Pine Ridge Native American Reservation, that they would encounter Jesus and that their hope would no longer be in vain!
