Last summer 18 very adventurous Quakers took a life changing mission trip to Springfield Colorado, with a few stops in between. It takes a lot of convincing to persuide a large group of people to get on the same page about anything let alone drive cross county. God works in mysterious and sometimes crazy ways and when he wants something, he makes it HAPPEN. Now that it has been a full year and we just finished up our reverse mission trip ( the youth from colorado came to us and worked on our church), I thought it was time to share our adventure.
We all worked VERY hard in preparation for this trip. From putting $2 a week into the mission fund, to serving nachos and beer to the Houston Rodeo goers. All of our hard work payed off and we were able to share in fellowship and our love of music with our fellow Friends. One half of our party worked on the church (painting) and the other half put on a bell camp, but we were all touched by the spirt and moved by the whole experience.

we all felt this way, one time or another durning the trip.
Lincoln was forever stuffing rocks in everyones pockets.
