On May 17th, 2009 a group of youth and adults gathered at Brenthaven to begin mission trip preparations. As was pointed out that night, this group of individuals preparing to embark on this mission trip together is unique to this year's trip - - as is the work they have been called to do in Ft Worth, TX.More than 30 youth and adult chaperones from Brenthaven are preparing to take an urban plunge mission trip in 2009. An urban plunge involves being the body of Christ to those who "fall through the cracks," are "stuck in the gaps," find themselves "down on their luck," - - well, you get the picture. In short, Brenthaven youth are invading the city of Ft Worth, TX and committed to be the hands and feet of Christ for those in need.
In our own words, here are some of the reasons we go:
- To help others
- To spread God's love
- To build relationships
- To share our talents
- To have fun
- To bond with each other and strangers
- To make memories
- To experience new places
- To love one another
- To answer the call..
We hope you follow us the next few weeks as we prepare, embark on, and reflect on our journey. This blog will be updated daily to include information about our planned work in Ft Worth, some of the reasons for going to Ft Worth, and many of our personal musings along the way.
