Reflections

Mission trip participants, feel free to add your reflections as a comment here. Or, if you would prefer your reflection to be a post of its own, email it to me and I will post it. Let me know if you would like to do something with audio or video, and we can work that out as well.

My quick thought as I look back at the week - the relationship we each individually have with Christ and the relationships we have and nurture in community with each other form the foundation for everything. From that solid rock any storm can be endured. Maybe not easily and maybe not without heartache, struggle, and pain, but it can be endured. The CHF mission team moved many people a few steps closer to being in their homes again, and just as importantly, shared love and compassion with those homeowners, many of whom selflessly shared that love back with gratitude to the work team and with thanks to Jesus Christ.

Many Hands. Many Hearts. One Spirit.

From the Borton Family

Thanks for letting ALL of us (Becky, Nathan, Natalie, Kelsey and myself) participate in the mission trip. We all had a meaningful experience working to help "Miss Cheri" make progress on rebuilding her life and her house. CHF has some very talented individuals and we had a great time working with some of them in our project group. Thanks especially to the CHF group for making our niece Kelsey Schrempp feel welcome and like one of the gang. Also, a BIG THANKS to Toni Pritchett, Kara Zonnefeld, and Charlotte Miller for allowing Natalie to participate and come on this trip. Thanks again Jeff Borton
