2010 Miracle Yearbook

SPRING BREAK MISSIONS, S everal MIS teams used their spring breaks to serve the Lord on a mission trip. Some teams traveled within the US for the week, but others were sent to countries like Mexico and the Dominican Republic. It's usually not too hard to tell who went on an MIS trip over Spring Break. The team members always come back with artfully crafted farmers tans and big smiles on their faces. One MIS team went to Mexico to work at a camp for missionary kids. The social work Dominican Republic team worked in Santo Domingo in the "red light districts" pulling women out of prostitution and giving them an alternative in Christ. The LeaderTreks Dominican Republic teams spent the week in Monte Plata hosting a VBS and doing construction at an orphanage. With a team of mostly girls, the LeaderTreks team found themselves doing intense labor despite their lack on "man-power." They worked together to lay the foundation for a new multi-purposed building at the orphanage. After spending a week serving the Lord in another country in a way that would probably be considered outside their comfort zone, team members always find it difficult to jump right back into life at Cedarville. But with the support of the new friends they made on the trip, they fight to enter back into their lives without forgetting the important lessons they learned on their trip. Eventually the awkward tan lines fade, but the impact of the trips remain on the hearts of the team members as long as they are willing to let Christ change them because of their experiences. Linnea Young gathers with a few friends she met in the Dominican Republic. Rebecca Belote sits with a young girl at a deafschool in Jamaica. An MIS team travels to work with Urban Hope in Philadelphia. In New York,MIS team members help out in a soup kitchen. Lookin'good in the hairnet, Stuart 011ey.
