Last year I experienced what it was like to unleash compassion in an incredible community. I traveled with Bayside church to Mexico (along with 1,200 others - high school students and adult leaders). Our mission was to share the complete love and joy of Jesus with hundreds of children in the Mexico region. Together, we built homes for families, ministered to the orphans, built bikes for kids, and just all around loved on any one and everyone.
This year, I stepped up to lead my very own Impact Team for the Bayside Adventure campus. I grew so much deeper in my faith by giving to others and experiencing a community of Bayside in mexico. We were there for a week, sleeping in tents, worshiping under the stars, praying with strangers and starting our days with God and coffee! It was the most incredible week I have ever experienced and I cannot wait to do it again and watch the students that travel with me grow in their faith and unleash compassion in our neighboring country yet a world of difference.
In order for Bayside to have the greatest impact they can and support us in our mission each student pays $649 to go on this trip. The money helps to cover all their food and water for the week, the travel costs to and from and while in mexico as well as the sleeping accommodations (I mean yeah, we are in tents in a desert but it is all supplied by Bayside. haha). I have several students that would love to go on this trip however their families cannot afford such a steep cost. I do not want money to be the reason someone doesn't experience this amazing opportunity, grow in their faith, and just become closer to God by being the church. I am raising money so I could gift some students with a scholarship to come with me to Mexico.
I am asking my community of friends, family, acquaintances, my friends friends, and anyone who sees this campaign to help me make this happen. Please donate whatever you can and help me unleash compassion to others.
Like most of you, I budget my giving monthly, so if you cannot donate this month, please consider donating next month and in the meantime please share this campaign with all your friends and family.
Thank you all,
Rachael
