There are so many moments from this year’s TEAMworks trip that we’ll never forget, but one lesson continues to stand out:
“For the One.”
Anna summed it up beautifully:
“One of the major themes of this trip was ‘For the One.’ Just as Jesus taught in the parable of the lost sheep, He leaves the ninety-nine to search for the one who is lost. Throughout this trip, we saw many examples of what it means to care for ‘the one.’ For example, we brought a large collection of puzzles without truly knowing why we were packing so many, but there was one young girl who absolutely loved puzzles and often depended on them during camp to reduce elopement. She happily completed every puzzle we had. She was the one.
Along with that, we brought six wheelchairs, and one little girl was fitted for one of them. As we reflected, we realized that her wheelchair might have been the one left behind if we had only brought five. God reminded us that the effort, the travel, the preparation, and the time are all worth it—for the one.”
This is why we go. To love, serve, and remind every child and every family that they are seen, known, and deeply valued.
Sometimes the greatest impact isn’t measured by the number of people reached, but by faithfully showing up for the one God places in front of you. 💙☀️
