c|Life's student ministry is active in serving others in various locations near and far from home. In 2008, we took our first group to McAllen, Texas for our first high school mission trip. We served the community by painting a local church and having backyard Bible clubs in a nearby neighborhood. 2009's trip grew when we took a much larger group to Vado, New Mexico and worked in a community painting mobile homes and teaching children about the love of our Savior. 2010 is proving to be a great trip as well as we do work in several churches, a women's shelter, and a youth camp in the mornings. In the evenings we go to Robstown to gather kids at the nearby park and tell them stories from the Bible, play games, and love on them.

Tie-dye Fun!!!

On Wednesday we told the kids the story of Noah's Ark, painted rainbows, and then tie-dyed shirts to remind them of God's promise to never flood the Earth again! The shirts were a hit, and we will be passing them back to the kids tonight (they have been hanging out to dry)! Because Casey & I were at the tie dye station all night, there are not many pictures of day 3, but here are few shots from the end of the night when we got together and sang songs with the kids (always a fun time:)!
Tonight is our last night to minister to these sweet kiddos and I am sure tears will be shed when we say goodbye to them! Please pray hard for our students tonight as they share the story of Jesus and His crucifixion, burial, and resurrection. We will follow up by making bracelets with 5 colored beads representing the plan of salvation - black representing the sins that we carry, red representing Jesus' blood sacrifice for our sake, white representing our sins being washed white as snow, green for our growth as Christians, and finally yellow, which represents the gold streets of Heaven where we will meet Jesus and see each other again!
