Colby Adams - What It's All About

It's not about rebuilding. It's not about painting and cleaning up. It's not even about giving people in need money to spend to get their lives back together. It's about sharing our faith with others and spreading God's love over all else. Yeah, I want to help rebuild, and yeah, I want to give people money to buy appliances with, but that's not the focus here. That is what I am trying to focus on as I prepare myself for this year's mission trip to New Orleans.

Last year's trip to NOLA was a life-changing experience. The biggest thing I learned from the whole experience is that God can take the seemingly bad, and use it for good. When people say "this trip was life-changing" they don't mean it was life-changing for that week or ten days we were there. It changed how we think and how we respond to things in our lives.

So that was last year; I cant wait for this year!
