Final Post for 2007 Seattle Mission Trip

We are going to have an early morning tomorrow to start our trip back home so this will end our reports from Suquamish, WA. So what have we taken away from this trip? We have understood that the relationships that have been built and the ones that are continuing to be cultivated between us and the Suquamish people are very special and make a difference in the lives of everyone involved. Suquamish is a beautiful place and are a beautiful people who appreciate the work that we do and the love that we offer to them. We must remember that what we do here is making a difference for the next generation here on Suquamish. We must remember that the lives that have been touched over the last 10 years are going to pass on what they have experienced on to the younger ones for a better future for Suquamish. What we do here is not of our own power, will or might but by the grace and love of Jesus Christ. He is the reason we do this kind of work. He is the reason we live and exist. The work that is done out here must continue to exist. The people here look forward to this group coming out every year and sharing Christ with everyone. This group, affectionately known as "the Alabama group" has gained a reputation as people who care genuinely about the Suquamish. We are excited that a little taste of Virginia has been able to be a part of this ministry and we hope that we can continue to be a part of this group. Hopefully the next time we write this post we will have just arrived on a plane into Seattle, unloaded of the Bainbridge Island Ferry and just checked into the Island Country Inn planning to start another amazing week of ministry to the Suquamish people. So long!
