Leader Thoughts: Sarah

This is my third time visiting Rancho and the heart of these people never cease to amaze and humble me. They have so little yet they have so much. I still can't figure it out. As we drive through the streets of Tecate we see what appears to be a heartbreakingly poor city but when we speak with the people and hang out with the kids one will immediately see something completely different: a contentment and joy like youve never seen. And the cool thing about this trip is that this time I get to experience it all from the perspective of a leader. It is incredible to watch this team of junior high kids, half of which have never been this far away from the comfort of their own home and familiar surroundings. I have seen tears of humility, I've seen kids step up and take on new challenges like doing a drama or dancing with little kids in worship. To see them grow like this is just...amazing. I wish you all could be here to see what I am so blessed to witness but I am sure you will hear all about it when we return!

Bendiciones, Sarah W
