Santiago



I think this picture pretty much sums up the three weeks i spent in Santiago, Chile. I spent most of my time with the Grant Family, they are part of a mission team along with 6 other families. Kelley and Julie have been in Santiago for about 8 years and they have four Children: Duncan, Abbey, Victoria, and Konner. It was such a blessing to spend time with a family who has devoted their lives to serving the Lord. I have learned so much here about missions strategy and raising a family. I cannot say enough about the work going on in Santiago.



While in Santiago I spent most of my time with the youth group. Jeremy and I worked with the Aggies for Christ encouraging the Youth and also helping the Church gain more contacts. The picture above is of me inviting some guys from the San Gabriel school to come to the events that we hosted at the Church. We didn't have a whole lot of kids show up to the events but I think it was very beneficial to the Chileans sharing their faith with their classmates. It has been incredible to see the growth of the Christians here. A couple of the youth are really stepping up as leaders and is really cool to be able to see the transforming power of Christ in their lives.

Reid,

Good to see a post from you buddy. I am so glad that you guys have been able to shadow that team. I am sure that your experience there has molded you in many ways. I look forward to hearing more about what you have learned about family and strategy. What do you think about Peru so far?
