Do Something Bold! Go on a mission trip! You can share (and receive) the love of Jesus Christ with orphans and at-risk kids this year, just like Kayla Vincent did.
Whenever Kayla looks at the smiley face sticker on the back of her cell phone, she is reminded of the connection she made with Maria on her recent trip to Romania. Whenever Maria noticed that Kayla was not smiling, she would grab Kayla’s cheeks and pull them up into a smile. Maria would declare, “You should always smile!” That’s when the unforced smiles would form on both Kayla and Maria. It was moments like that when Kayla realized the change the children were making in her. As Maria and Kayla were saying their farewell’s, Maria placed the smiley face sticker on Kayla’s cell phone and got on the bus. When Kayla looked up at Maria through the bus window she could see that Maria was not smiling. Kayla pointed to the sticker on her phone, pulled either side of her own cheeks upward into a smile, and a smile effortlessly appeared on Maria’s face. Kayla mouthed the words, “You should always smile.”
Mission trips are transforming not only for the children served, but for those serving. Do Something Bold!
The focus of this team will be the delivery of humanitarian aid and the distribution of shoes collected during the Project Respond throughout the United States this summer. ACF will give every team member a great overview of the entire ministry being done in Romania. ACF will also give each team member the honor of putting new shoes and socks onto the feet of an orphan or at-risk child. It is an honor and privilege to perform the Christ-like act. The team will visit many different children families, and ministries throughout the Targu-Mures region of Romania. The team will also perform a Vacation Bible School to each group of children receiving aid. Finally, the team will enjoy the natural beauty of Romania as the team gets the chance to do some first-rate sightseeing of the country's natural scenery and historical sights.
