The Chicago trip is finished! We all made it safely back home. During the VBS, eight children and one volunteer youth from Christ Our Savior Church prayed to accept Jesus as their Savior. Fourteen children who came to the VBS were not connected to the church in any way. We’re all very grateful to have been given the opportunity to teach the Gospel in a fun way to children from the neighborhood. Our group also took official and unofficial tours of Christian colleges in the area and explored downtown Chicago, visiting Millennium Park and Sears Tower. On Sunday we said our tearful goodbyes to those from the COSC church and on the way back home we debriefed and gave everyone the opportunity to encourage one another and help each other know in what areas we can grow. We’re all looking forward to doing this again next year! ~Melanie Zens
