This was my first time on a mission trip with Crossfire, we went to the Philippines and it was awesome. During the entire trip I had the chance to minister to people of all ages to people on the Island of Negros. The awesome thing is how God used me, I got to do things that not many people can say they did and that was I preached in a prison!!!!! God showed himself mighty while I was there. I would just go lay hands on people and they would get touched by the power of God. I had no idea God could use me in that way but he did. I asked God to show himself real to me and he did, he showed himself to me by using me.

We went to a couple different squatter villages while we were there. These are the poorest areas of the Philippines where people build small homes right next to each other on abandoned property. Most of these homes are no bigger than the smallest room in your house. In these areas you see so many kids running around unattended so a lot of the ministry we did in the villages was for the kids. We put on puppet shows and sang some songs teaching them about Jesus, but the thing that got me was when the kids received prayer for salvation. It made me tear up almost every time I heard it, because we were a part of bringing these kids into the saving knowledge of Jesus.

All in all I had a great trip. I made a lot of new friends and made a lot of new memories. Reading about it and seeing the pictures is encouraging, but my challenge to every one of you is this; get on the mission field or commit to supporting missions and see how you can change people’s lives and how your life will be changed.
