Kingsway Sophmores come to town for City Challenge

100_4556.JPG

A few weeks ago, we had the pleasure of hosting the Sophmore class at Kingsway Christian School, from the Holmes/Wayne County area of northwestern Ohio. The students surprised us by telling us that Kingsway sends many of their classes out on year-end missions trips. The Kingsway Sophmores came last year also, so maybe this is becoming a tradition.

If it is becoming a tradition, that tradition fares well for future SEND staff, because our week with the Kingsway group was fun and encouraging. After ministry time, for example, all of us guys piled into the 18-passenger van (people at the SEND house inexplicibly call the van 'Ike') and went to Wendy's for some late night Frosties. While we fumbled with our wallets, the school's chaperone, Don, generously produced a $20 and picked up the tab for the whole group. Thanks Don!

All said, we were blessed by having spent a week with these neat kids.
