Before taking off for Guatemala today, a group of students and leaders spent months preparing their hearts and their minds for a transformational experience this week. They wrote letters to raise money and prayer support, reflected on the theology of mission, learned about the country of Guatemala and the organization CEDEPCA, and began to form a bond with one another that will ground them in a community of love as they travel. When their plane took off from the Roanoke airport early this morning, they left knowing that a great network of faithful supporters go too and that God's love and grace is behind, present with, and ever before them.
This was the last planning meeting at Cooper House.
