Jammers in Peru

My baby sister, Jamie, is in Peru right now with a team from Southwood's youth group. I am so excited for her! I went on several mission trips in high school and they changed my life. Be praying for her and the rest of the team while they are there. My mission trip experiences in Mexico and Belize were with a few of the same leaders so I know that she is in great hands. Southwood started going to Peru the summer after I graduated so I never had the chance to go...bummer! When I went to Mexico one summer we memorized a passage that is my prayer for her team.

" If you have any encouragement from being

united with Christ, if any comfort from His love,

if any fellowship with the Spirit,

if any tenderness and compassion,

then make my joy complete by being like-minded,

having the same love, being one in spirit and purpose.

Do nothing out of selfish ambition or vain conceit,

but in humility consider others better than yourselves.

Each of you should look not only to your own interests,

but also to the interests of others.

Your attitude should be the same as that of Christ Jesus:

Who, being in very nature God,

did not consider equality with God something to be grasped,

but made himself nothing, take the very nature of a servant,

being made in human likeness.

And being found in appearance as a man, he humbled himself

and became obedient to death-even death on a cross!

Therefore God exalted him to the highest place

and gave him the name that is above every name,

that at the name of Jesus every knee should bow,

in heaven and on earth and under the earth,

and every tongue confess that Jesus Christ is Lord,

to the glory of God the Father.

-Philippians 2: 1-11
