2011 Senior Mission Trip to Barbados

Senior mission trip 2011

Report from Pastor Richard Hemphill

Wow! Where do I begin in describing such an awesome week? How do I reduce to one simple article the events of a week that so drastically changed our lives? Our ministry schedule was like none other…very intense and high energy. We were stretched well beyond our comfort zones and challenged to new levels of faith.

The exuberant church services took our worship to new heights. The unique “open air” neighborhood events taught us the importance of every home for Christ. The secondary schools were eye opening as we witnessed firsthand the enemy trying to destroy the youth of today. Then there were the primary schools. They were filled with precious children. Their joyful laughter, excitement and smiling faces made a lifetime impression on our hearts.

Challenges presented themselves. The impossible confronted us. The enemy tried his best to defeat us. But through it all we trusted God. Through it all we stood upon His Word. Through it all we found God to be faithful and His Word to be true.
