Campion Students Serve in Mansa, Zambia

Mr. Kast, seven students and I recently returned from 3 weeks in Zambia as part of Give Back to Humanity.

Our trip went way faster than I had hoped. The first few days were spent praying hard and trying to get our whole group together due to travel complications. God was leading us the whole time and once we all finally arrived in Lusaka safely we were then able to head out to our final destination in Mansa, Zambia.

We went to Campion's sister school, Fordina Pandeli Secondary School, where we got to stay with the students for a week, sleeping in the dorms, doing construction on their campus and ending each night with a week of prayer meeting. We now have many lifelong friends from across the globe. I can't wait for Jesus to come back and we'll be reunited.

The next week was spent in Livingstone where we got the full African experience--walking with lions and tigers, visiting water falls, going on safaris and getting little glimpses of heaven wherever we went.

To top off our mission trip we had a 20 hour layover in Dubai where we saw a whole new side of this world we live in. Going up the Burj Kalifa and walking around in the biggest mall in the world was insane, something I still can't wrap my mind around. We saw two completely different extremes going from Zambia to Dubai.

There was never a dull moment, always something to look forward to and always a new way for us to share Jesus' love.
