We have finally reached the planning stage of our trip and I couldn't be more excited! The first few team meetings are to help us get focused and get to know each other better. Once we learn who our LeaderTreks staff is and Greg has had a chance to discuss our trip with them, it's planning time!!! And that started this last weekend.
Unlike a level 4 trip (like what I was on last year in Honduras) where students are in charge of everything, this is a level 3 trip where students are given the responsibility of one key element and then are given more responsibility once we get to Pawley's. The area that we are planning is the Vacation Bible School/Sports Camp that we will run for 4 of the days we are in Pawley's. On Sunday, our team started to brainstorm what we want that to look like. Our 4 team members who were on the Pawley's trip last year, Caleb, Sarah, Nate, and Jensen, were each given a day to plan and the rest of the team was divided up into one of their groups.
We already have some great ideas, as you can see from our brainstorming list above, and I'm super excited to see what the groups come up with for the kids in South Carolina!
Our team has officially been finalized with one student backing out, another student being added to the group, and a 3rd adult leader. Here's the final list:
Greg, Josiah, and I (adult leaders)
Caleb, Alan, Jacob, Jordan,
Nate, Mike, Blake, Sarah
Ashlyn, Emmalie, Jensen, Lauren, & Mariah
Final Note: Thank you to everyone who has donated financially and prayerfully to our mission!!! We are very close as a team to being fully funded and are so grateful for everyone who is helping us serve God in this way.
