Guatemala 2024 Day One

Greetings friends and family as we kick off a new year of young adults missions. Our day started off bright and early, but we all made it safely to the airport in good time. The people we’ve come across so far (two security officers, one passenger, and two flight attendants) have been incredibly nice.

Windsor 2024 Day Seven

What’s up everyone, this was our last full day in Windsor, and it was AMAZING! And a great way to end our week.

We’re talking muffins, Shreddies, fruit, and coffee (only for the old folks). Then we did morning devotions and focused on 1 Thessalonians 5:11 where we looked at encouraging one another.

Windsor 2024 Day Two

This morning, we went to Ambassador Community Church for our morning service. It was a different kind of service from what we normally have back home at Compass, but it was still fun. After the service they had a potluck for us where we met a lot of new people and had great food.

Windsor 2024 Day One

Hey from the 2024 Windsor missions team! After we were packed and sent off by the loving parents, we began our long trek down to Windsor! The bus ride was filled with lots of laughter, music, dancing, thought provoking questions and reflections, full (candy) tummies and of course a good ole game of Pharisees.
