The Middle School ministry of Christ Fellowship spent the last five days doing mission work in Miami Dade county.
Middle School students from First Baptist Church of Oviedo, FL joined forces with CF totaling over 150 students and leaders ministering in various ways to the people of Miami. The team stayed the nights at our Downtown Campus and during the day traveled out to the areas surrounding our five CF campuses.
Once at their locations, teams performed a variety of missions. Some groups ran a sports camp, worked at a women's shelter, passed out cold water, worked with Touching Miami with Love, performed manual labor at a couple of the campuses, and some promoted campuses by passing out door hangers.
One powerful aspect of the week was the evening worship services. Each night Berchman Paul, the Homestead campus worship leader, led worship and a message was shared by a student pastor/director from one of the campuses. Incredible worship experiences and great teaching made the nights a highly anticipated time.
At different times during the week, I caught up with leaders and students from our different campuses and got to hear how much they were enjoying the trip. God was working in their lives and they were loving it. Sweaty and tired, it was easy to see they were enjoying what they were doing.
I'm thankful for Todd and the team who worked so hard to put the trip together to give students the opportunity to live out their faith right here in our city. Our Middle School students will continue to benefit from the experience for years to come and the city of Miami will benefit as well!
Great job everyone!
