Some thoughts from Gavin

by Gavin Brigham, Redwood Park Church

Hello I’m Gavin from Redwood Park Church, Thunder Bay. The trip will sadly be over in a few days and I’d have to say we all are having a great time together. We sadly missed some debriefing times along the trip due to late nights, but the latest one with team A, MCAC and Redwood Park Church, was fantastic. We had time to share high points and low points during the day, hearing other peoples thoughts on things that had happened through out the day is encouraging and brings us as a team closer together. During the de-brief, I decided that simply helping people isn’t enough for me; I want to continue serving God after the trip, in any way possible. Here we aren’t just “helping” the staff of Elim or Amijai, we are serving god and what he has planned for Inca Link and its ministries.

I love how you said that simply helping people isn't enough....but that you want to serve God. He doesn't need us to do anything for Him, but He invites us to be a part of what He is doing in this world.

That is so cool, Gavin! Serving God is the BEST thing you can do....wherever that may be! It can come in a variety of ways but always comes down to serving others and constantly thanking God for the opportunity to do that. What an adventure:) I pray that you have some great opportunities to keep serving after the trip.

EYYY SHOUTOUT TO OUR MCAC TEAM!!!!! Anyway, yes! I love your attitude in wanting to continue in serving after the trip. I think these 10 days are a great opportunity to expose you to what poverty looks like and what genuine faith looks like, but I'm hoping that after this trip, you all will have a passion for God's kingdom; that others will witness CHANGE in your perspectives, in your attitudes, in your actions, and in your personal relationship with God. Continue to seek God with all your heart and ask Him for opportunities to share His name and to keep serving for His glory.
