On Saturday, all the Gr. 11 team members & chaperones arrived at BCS to find the gymnasium full of donated items to take to Guatemala. The job ahead was to pack as much as we could into travel bags. Here are some images of the action!
Approximately 1,700 pounds of clothing, toys, shoes & blankets were packed into our travel bags!
No more than 45 pounds per person, so we had to check it once & check it twice.
We concluded the event in a time of prayer.
We want to continue to pray for safety as we travel, for health while we are away, for unity of the team, openness to hear God's voice & hearts that will be filled with the compassion of Christ. We also pray for the individuals we will meet while in Guatemala, that they will not only be blessed by the gifts we bring, but that they will come to know the God who compels us to bring them.
Keep checking back to this blog over the next two weeks & follow our stories as we travel to the city of Tactic, Guatemala!
