Bahamas Mission '09

A Daily Chronicle of our Mission to the island of Eleuthera, Bahamas.

Monday's report: at 7am eastern time, our Senior High Missions group began their day with breakfast, at corresponding 6am our Junior Highers set out for Camp Lookout for their week of missions. Today began work days for the Bahamas teams. Dispersed by some midday rain and thundershowers groups were into all kinds of work from demolition, painting, tile work, and more. We capped the afternoon with a trip to Rainbow Bay beach which was rather bright and blue, but also rather salty. Before dinner our team explored the world of harvesting coconuts and eating the fruits of their labors. Needless to say, we would make very bad cavemen (just imagine teens without tools & a large hard ball shaped item). The Camp Lookout team spent the day getting to know their other fellow campers, breaking into work teams and doing initiative/team building games. Other than an area of the world being inhabited by around 100 middle schoolers, a scary prospect indeed, I have a good report that all is well at Camp Lookout.

We've uploaded some more photos & videos from the Bahamas trip. urlzen.com/jjz Camp Lookout does not have as good an internet hook up that we surprisingly have here in the Bahamas, so we may have to wait till later on some of those sights.

Thanks for supporting youth missions by your prayers, presence, gifts, and witness!
