Let us know in comments or you can DM us or @i.am.josh.garner So the last two photos weren't showing up for some reason but here they are! Here's what our youth pastor Josh had to say about our mission trip. We couldn't have said it any better our self. "|Love| Last week I had the honor of serving beside 17 students and 4 amazing adult leaders in Ponce, Puerto Rico. I was so inspired by the level of hard work and love these students showed the people of Ponce. These people still feel the pain that Hurricane Maria brought them a year ago. We helped as we could by renovating a classroom in a local school, playing with kids at a park, and praying with people as we handed out rice and beans. One of the many highlights of the trip came when I watched a 14 year old boy from Madison County, GA grasp hands in prayer with a 75 year old lady from Ponce, Puerto Rico. In that moment all the differences between them were shattered by their common love for Jesus and compassion for each other. I've heard it said that we live in a divisive time and the differences among people are too profound to be reconciled. I on the other hand am quite hopeful that if we embrace the love that Jesus lived out and taught us to have for one another that our best days are ahead of us. #prayeroverpride @teameffort_missions @tuckstonyouth" - @i.am.josh.garner Thanks to Christina for giving up our nice paint fabric for our beautiful articles of clothing #TeamEffortPuertoRico
