We had another great missionary team visit us October 15-18 who were wonderfully named, Team Amistad. We are grateful for their hard work and dedication and the impact that they made on the community in such a short time.
What this team will be most remembered for is for its record breaking service here at New Vision Community Church. They served close to 300 elderly in our Silver Star Program — that is the most we have had to serve in one day. In addition to handing out bags of food to the seniors, they also helped put together each package before the doors were opened to our recipients.
Amazingly, none of our mission team members knew each other before the trip. Through their labor of love they found common ground and bonds were formed. It was an awesome testimony at how seamlessly the body of Christ can work together when united by His purpose. By working with such cohesion, they were able to accomplish so much in such little time!
Thanks again Team Amistad!!
And once again, we know our mission team took away as much as they gave from their short trip. One of our missionaries wrote:
“The work being done there is so real and down to earth – and our physical labor and hearts were appreciated 1000-fold, so the question is – who benefitted the most? I hope those kids and parents and elders got as much out of our team’s impact as I did personally. My co-worker says I seem happier since my return…..I want to go back……I thank you Luis and Lucy, for giving me the chance to serve and work long, hard, loving hours with you.”
