Mr. Gerryts shared a devotion he wrote after his trip to South Africa several years ago, entitled Yesterday I Was a Mountain. (Read it here: http://everyonelisten.com/2011/11/24/yesterday-i-was-a-mountain/ .) He said his experience in South Africa humbled him, and taught him to see more clearly and to feel more deeply.
Mr. T. described some of the details of the service trip. He said our school's partnership with Theocentric Christian College was established through the work of our former principal and his wife, Marc and Dora Stroobosscher, and said this is the fourth team that our school is sending to Theocentric.
Jazmine described the work the team members will be doing at Theocentric Christian College.
Several members of the team presented a dramatic version of the parable of the prodigal son.
Selena explained that the theme of this year's trip is Shine Like Stars based on Philippians 2:5-16, and Tallia shared how excited she is to be going. "I want to be part of something bigger than my everyday life," she said. "I put my trust in God to look after myself and the team. With God's help we are going to do great things in South Africa and I can hardly wait!"
The team members sang Hakuna Matata,
and then DD spoke words of encouragement, as the team heads to her home school, and sang three songs of blessing.
Friends gathered around the team members to place their hands on them while we prayed for God's blessing on their journey.
Members of the student council executive presented the team members with a gift from the school.
Then we hugged, and said good-bye.
Pray for David, Emily, Jazmine, Veronica, Matthew, Tallia, Kurtis, Josh, Thomas, Rachel, Katherine, Selena, Idalene, Devon, Christina, Mrs. DeHaan, Mr. Park, Mrs. Park and Mr. van den Boogard. God bless you all!
