Today we debriefed with Jennifer, our Living Hope team coordinator.
We repeated many words:
hopeful
joyful
grateful
appreciative
By the end of our reflection I'd forgotten whether we were describing ourselves or the group with whom we'd come to serve.
One of our main tasks was to minister to Living Hope staff in the many arenas in which they serve, (hospitals, clinics, chaplains, counselors, life coaches, after school programs) and encourage, listen to, and pray with them.
We concluded our time with a hand-washing, an opportunity for the Chowan team to serve the Living Hope team--the servants being served.
We were humbled by their response and hopeful and generous spirit.
I long ago learned and have since preached that the best thing a mission team can do is love one another. I wish all teams could love and serve like this one has.
Ever-grateful for your prayers and support and ever-proud of the Chowan family,
Drew Phillips
