Recently a group of students from San Diego Christian College visited Fresno for a missions exposure trip. Rather than sitting in San Diego LEARNING about missions, they came to Fresno to DO missions!
Groups had the opportunity to visit Saturday Sports as well as Sunday morning church services our partnership neighborhoods. Here are a few of the comments they shared about their experiences from SATURDAY SPORTS at Olmos, Kirk & Columbia:
- “Absolutely loved it. The kids were so awesome and I was so grateful to just have the chance to love on them.”
- “I had so much fun playing with the kids and would really like to come back and participate again”
- “Working with the kids was awesome.”
- “Very eye opening.”
- “Great kids.”
- “It was fun and the kids were all great, wish we could have spent more time with them.”
- “I loved being able to play with the kids and show them God’s love through my actions.”
- “The kids and leaders were amazing, just wish there was more we could do.”
- “Sweet kids, I pray they will love Jesus!”
- “It was really fun to be able to play with the kids and provide them with a meal.”
- “One of my favorite parts of the exposure trip . . . so much fun playing with the kids.”
