Spring Break

For Spring Break I went on a week long mission trip to Panama City Beach, Florida. I went with Campus Crusade for Christ. It was an amazing week.


This first picture is the hotel we stayed at during the week. Every room is ocean front, and it was a great hotel; very spacious, and very comfortable.







This is the hotel pool. This is the main pool, there was also a kiddy pool, and 2 hot tubs. I spent a lot of our free time in this bad boy.














This is just a glimpse of the many sunsets we saw while staying in Panama City. The view of the Gulf, and the scenery were beautiful.



















This is some of the group that went on the trip. From the right to the left you have Chris, Kristin, me, and Abby. We are hanging out in the ocean after a long day of outreach on the beach.












This is a picture of a group of us who lost a dare game having to eat a heaping teaspoon of cinnamon. I will admit to you this was one of the nastier things I have had to do in my lifetime. I am in the middle of trying not to throw up, and I believe that both Larissa on my right and Andrea on my left are both about to suck cinnamon through their nose. Good times.







Here is a shot of us eating a late dinner at one of the sketchiest restaurants I have ever seen. The Omelet House. I was the only one in the group brave enough to order an omelet, and Chris ( the man in the black shirt at the back of the table) ordered a hamburger and had the bun delivered to him with no burger on it.










This is the head of one of the children of one of Campus Crusade For Christ's staff members named Ron Jones. The heads name is Ron Jones Jr. AKA "little Ron". The boy has pretty eyes doesn't he?


















And this is Ron Jones's other child Emma. She really looks up to us. She's so little and cute.














This was a demonstration some of our guys did one day. We had some guys drag a cross up and down the beach, to put the image into some peoples heads so that they knew what our groups was here for which was to share with the what we believe about God, and Jesus Christ.

We went out on the beach every day, with the goal of engaging people in conversations about spiritual things, and sharing with them the love of Jesus Christ and the sacrifice that he made for us so that we could have a relationship with him.

We administered surveys to people to find out what they thought of God, and Jesus Christ, and spiritual issues, and then if they were interested in knowing what we thought about these things we would share the Gospel of the bible with them, by either Using the 4 Spiritual laws, which I have posted in a previous Blog, or by telling them our personal testimonies of how we came to have a personal relationship with Jesus Christ and how he has impacted our lives in amazing ways.

During this week, our group engaged in over 2000 conversations with people, we shared the gospel with over 1100 people, and 71 people accepted Christ as their personal savior this week. I can not think of a better way to have spent my spring break, and I will cherish the memories I have from this trip for a long time.
