So it's Saturday night, and after a long 8 hour drive we finally made it to Jackson! We unloaded all of our stuff, and found out we didn't have all of it. Two lucky girls' bags were left at CRBC, but God has provided a way for their bags to get here tomorrow afternoon. We are all excited and are getting prepared for a great week of service. Tomorrow we will divide into our work crews for the week and go to church with our crews at various sponsor churches within the vicinity of FBC Jackson. These support churches are not only hosting us for their Sunday service, but will be providing lunch for the crews everyday.
I want to take a second to tell you guys about a chance to get in touch with us throughout the week. World Changers has a system called encourage grams, where we can write letters of encouragement and place them in people's encourage boxes. Everyone taking part this week has a box, and every day we will check them for new letters (kinda like Christmas!) World Changers has set up an electronic encourage gram and every morning the office will print out encourage grams written by people from home and place them in the student's encourage boxes. You can access this feature by going to the World Changers website at www.world-changers.net and on the left hand side just click the "Send and E-Couragegram" and we will get it!
I want to thank you guys for being a praying church and keeping us in your prayers this week as we are doing God's work here in Jackson. It's so great to be a part of a church who believes in missions, and fully supports those who go.
We'll be updating daily about what's going on here in Jackson, let you read some student testimonies, and hopefully we'll be able to show you some pictures of the work that is taking place.
Stay Tuned!
Ryan Jackson
