Prairie Hills Covenant Church

One evening, when I was in 7th grade, two crazy ladies, Deb and Sherri (who later became two of my ministry role models), showed up at my church and invited the few high school and middle school students who attended our small church to go on a mission trip to Reynosa, Mexico. Deb and Sherri seemed fun, going to Mexico seemed fun, and for the most part, I liked meeting new people, so I signed up. After a few months of training sessions, prayer, and learning about a new culture we climbed on these massively old charter buses that the Covenant Church in Lincoln had purchased, and we made our way to Reynosa. After a few bus break downs, we finally made it. We set up camp in our partner churches yard. We built something (what it was escapes me), we had a VBS for the neighborhood children, we sang songs in Spanish, and taught about Jesus. It was a fabulous trip! Minus the fact that my dog passed away while I was gone, I wouldn’t have changed a moment about that trip… well, I might have changed the fact tha
