Wrap Up

All in all, the trip was phenomenal. Our team can only hope that we impacted the "Mainers" as much as our own lives were impacted. The week was nearly flawless and all of our prayers were answered. Looking back, that was one of the most apparent things to me was the way that God answers prayers. I knew this before, but it became much more real; from the way in which the rain was held off until the minute all the kids left camp to the ways in which it was apparent that the kids saw Jesus in us, it was apparent that God answers prayers. Another answer to prayer was our relationship with the church in Maine. "Christ the Redeemer" was full of praises about the way that our team conducted ourselves and never grew weary. Of course, they did not see the way that we crashed once back at the hotel, but it was a blessing that God was able to use us to impact the church as well as the families we met through the camp. Hopefully, this trip built a bridge that will lead to many more visits to Maine in the future. Please pray for these future relationships and possible trips. Let me leave you with this story, which pretty much sums up the entire trip. As we finished camp, said our goodbyes, and started packing up, one of the little campers ran up to me and gave me a huge hug. As she said goodbye, and ran away, she left me with this, "I'll see you in heaven Katy!". With tears in my eyes, I responded, "Yes, you will". That's what this trip was all about.
