As my friends and I set camp up I had become excited for the nights

clutching the hands of my dad‚ walking barefoot on the rocks atop this river was taken on our family’s trip to the Grand Canyon. We were balancing on goo-covered pebbles above the waters of the roaring waters and towering‚ majestic canyon- the highest in the universe.

would you want to go on a mission trip to your own backyard”. I’m sure for most people‚ spending a week and a half of summer in downtown Akron‚ Ohio does not seem fun. I‚ however‚ thought otherwise. During my time in Akron I worked for a ministry called Urban Vision‚ which provides afterschool programs for children in need. Too often we overlook the diversity in own community.

I once did my weekend assignments during a school trip that Monday because I forgot to do it due to my excitement
