Puerto Rico Mission Trip

Puerto Rico Christian School• Levittown, PR

What an amazing week!  From March 14-21, 24 college students and young adults from Crossroads served at Puerto Rico Christian School.  We had two primary objectives for the week. 1) Teach the students in their Bible classes and conduct their chapel services and 2) improve the physical appearance of the school.  PRCS is up for accreditation next week so there was much work to be done.  We did a number of jobs from painting the school, replacing ceiling tiles, changing our lights and ballasts, raking leaves, picking up trash, moving dirt, and laying mulch.  The college students worked tremendously hard to get the school looking in top form.

The biggest impact seen, though, was in the relationships built and the lives changed. Our theme for the week was “Testify,” and that’s what we did. We testified to each other and to the kids what Christ has done in our lives’ and what He can do in others. We saw decisions made for Christ, missionaries uplifted and encouraged, and authentic community experienced. It truly was an unforgettable week! Praise the Lord!
