Choices - Missions

Passport Choices is unique in that the students decide when they arrive at camp how they will spend their choices time - 11am-2:30pm. There are nine different choice opportunities ranging from missions to music, drama to Soul Food (a cooking track that emphasizes hospitality). Within the missions "choice" there are 4 different missions opportunities.

I have been assigned to drive the bus for missions group 2. Every day we go to a local park called Creft Park. We then send Passport students and chaperons into the surrounding areas to collect the children and bring them to the park for 2 hours of play, crafts, basketball, face paint, games, and other fun activities. Here are some pictures of the kids we get to work with every day, along with the two Second Baptist youth who are in missions 2 - Jacob McKee and Wesley Owens.

Everyday we are blessed by the children from these neighborhoods. Already they have shown us so much love and trust. There has been a Passport missions group coming to this park every week for the past 6 weeks. We get to benefit from their hard work and faithful service. The children immediately trust us and the parents are happy to send them out every day to play with us at the park. They love to get piggy-back rides and are not bashful in their requests for a ride. Most of the time they simply say - "Put me on your back!" And we are glad to oblige.

Today one of the young children did not speak any English and Wesley, knowing a little Spanish, was happy to befriend him and help him communicate with the rest of our Passport group.
