What to Expect

Thanks for checking out the mission trip blog as we get ready to leave on our trip to Montana. I wanted to take some time before we left to give you an idea of what you can expect to see here and give you a couple tips.

Over the course of the next 11 days, you won't hear much from me anymore, unless something isn't going as planned. The youth and some of the adults on the trip will be telling the story. This blog's purpose is to provide you with the best opportunity to follow along with the youth. You will see daily entries by youth on the trip and you will have the opportunity to click the comment button below the entry to send the writer feedback and encouragement. Those comments do make it back to the writer on a daily basis.

Also, every day there will be a video posted summarizing that day's activities. This will depend on what internet access is available, so please be patient. Generally they will be posted late into the night. If you have a slower internet connection and still want to watch the videos, there are a couple things you can do. Once you hit play, you will see a button to turn the HD (high definition) off. This will reduce the quality but it will improve playback for you if you are having trouble getting it to load. The other option is to pause the video, let the video load for a little while, and come back later and play it. I hope that helps.

Finally, one new feature we are going to test out is some live video. You can see a tab at the top that says "live". Depending on what kind of internet is available, this may or may not be working, information will be posted if we can come up with a schedule when we get to the work sites. It should be active for most of the roadtrip. Those are the features, if you have any questions, leave me a comment and I'll get back to you as soon as I can. Share this website with your family and friends over the course of the next week.

This mission is intended to extend the love of Christ to the people of Crow Agency. This site is here to provide you a window into that experience. This is all done so that God may be glorified. I hope through the video you will watch and the postings you will read, you can feel like you are a part of this mission trip. Please keep us and the people of Crow Agency in your prayers.

To God be the glory.

  1. Have a great trip! You're all in my thoughts and prayers. The technology is phenomenal, by the way. The video loaded really quick. I'm going to keep up with you guys this week. Looking forward to this evening's video.
