Front Street Baptist Church Junior High Youth are leaving on Monday, August 1, 2011 through Saturday August 6, 2011 to go to Charleston, WV on a mission trip. This is a favorite place of ours. We are so excited to be working with the after school program of West Charleston Baptist Church and also spending time with some great friends we met on last year's trip. Please pray as we love on the children in Charleston and make new friends and reconnect with old ones!!!! We hope that when the people of Charleston, WV see us, they see Christ!

Hey this is Courtney Stroud, this is my first youth mission trip and i am loving every minute of it. These kids are so sweet this one little girl named Q'aliyah she came running towards me the first second she seen me and we have been buddies every since. I loved meeting Star Jae, Myracle, and Jamiese. They are so nice and funny. Today us and the middle school kids had water balloon games. We all got soaking wet. We then came inside to just chill till the after school kids came. We meet up the other youth group from Brevard and we had snack with the kids and worship time, and also supper. To experience how the kids live and how they may not be loved anywhere but here is gripping to the heart because they are all so nice and sweet and need love and to give it to them makes me feel amazing. Having fun with the kids and showing them God and love is the best thing. I am gonna be so heart broken to leave these kids on Saturday. I hope to see them again sometime.
