What an absorbing day at La Vega on Day 5 when our service to the kids at the GAD Mission school ended. We were joyful to have Patricia Parroquiano (MS Principal), Yolanda Cardozo (Colombian Program Coordinator), her daughter Gaby, and Marques Knepp (an ECA volunteer from GTO) join our team. After devotions and breakfast, Ms. Parroquiano, profe Yoli, and profe Andrea Gómez led separate sessions with the GAD Mission school teachers on English, biblical integration, and holistic evaluation respectively. It was a wonderful time with the teachers. When one of them talked with us at the end, she cried while sharing that she had been praying, and thought we were the answer to her prayers.

Our high schoolers and Gaby and Marques helped organize the school library during the day. After a delicious Mexican lunch at a nearby restaurant, everyone was ready to help the kids with their presentations at the English Club. The kids were brilliant with their presentations on stage. The smiles on their parents’ faces were there for everyone to see. Our young people packed and gave out surprise gifts to all the kids at the English Club.

We praise God for this mission trip to La Vega. Within our group, many of us were first timers on a mission trip. It was a time of sharing, ministering, and caring for one another. We gelled/bonded really well as a group, and with good team effort (by the grace of God) we were able to accomplish what He desired for each of us on the mission trip.
