"Spending time at the start of my summer each year at our Jr High Mission trip at Pinecliff is a terrific way to get me to focus on what's important - helping our Youth become Christ's Body in helping others while forming lifetime friendships with each other.
I thoroughly enjoy watching our Jr High Youth grow closer to our Lord while doing various projects at Pinecliff: be it praying with them before doing a project which goes way beyond their comfort zone (ie - climbing in a window well to clean the inside of the window where there are dead bugs which for a Jr High girl can be very traumitizing. But after praying with them asking for God's strength, knowing that Jesus will be with them the whole way and that they will never be alone - they are then able to conquer their fears and do God's work and feel good about what they've done!! This mission trip helps in building confidence for future mission trips further away from home. God is good and He takes care of His children!!
