"If you can use anything Lord, you can use me. Use my hands, use my feet, take my heart, speak through me, if you can use anything, Lord, you can use me".
This is the song that over 300 teens sang every morning as they left the campus at Eastern University to head out into the inner city parts of Philadelphia to do God's work.
SHBC had 30 teens and 7 adults head out in a charter bus for a week of incredible eye opening experiences. We had teens developing relationships and working with children of all ages in parks, working with senior adults in nursing homes, working in food warehouses, doing landscaping, painting, cleaning and much more! Every evening after worship we had time to share as a group how God used us that day and how God was accomplishing His purposes through us as well as share our own Godstories with each other.
This was a wonderful and powerful time of sharing! We had 4 teens make profession of faith decisions and many more answer God's calling to step up and serve God more obediently.
There was not a single person that came home the same as when they left!
God worked in wonderful ways while we were in Philly - and for that we PRAISE HIM!
Take time to catch up with one of our teens and ask them how this mission trip helped them grow spiritually.
