I am very excited for this summer and all the opportunities for our youth to learn more about and serve our God. Summer trips are one of the best ways for our youth to grown in their faith as well as to build the lifelong relationships with their peers. One of my favorite parts of ministry is the stories that our kids share with each other and those new to the ministry. Friendships are started and built on trips like these.
