Our Communications Director, Beth, also joined the team on the trip. As she thought back on the trip and processed the various experiences, she shared a few thoughts. “Beautiful smiles, gracious hospitality, sharing what little they have. Sitting on dirt floors, hearing stories of flooded homes in winter, stories of gratitude for so little…. So grateful for all we heard, the love we experienced.”
Beth, Tim and the whole group were glad to meet many of our partners on the field serving so many. “Whether they hosted us in their home, taught us about the places we were visiting, told us their stories, translated for us, or simply drove us around, the gentleness and kindness with which we were received was powerful. We certainly witnessed a lot of brokenness during our trip, but I thought more of the people working to bring healing and hope to the lives of so many whose lives have been torn apart…”
And from Beth, “How can we help now?”
