Hello Los Angeles Trip People,
I am very glad that you are going to L.A. Some people might ask you why we are going all the way to California when there are people in need right here. We are going all the way to California for two main reasons. First, Los Angeles has a larger community of needy families than we have here in Medicine Lodge and the ministries that are dealing with the needs are always in need of more help. Second, the culture in Los Angeles is not the same as in our rural community. By going to Los Angeles we will be stretched and will grow as we see how many people are needy and what we can do to help. I pray that not only will our service help out others, but that the trip to California will also help us. When we return from L.A., I hope that our faith will have grown and we will have gained more wisdom in loving God and loving others.
Warning: If you are going on this trip only for a vacation and to visit California you will be sadly disappointed. The trip will be fun and we will see some great tourist attractions in L.A., but we are going to serve others. The focus of our trip and a majority of our trip will be helping out others. We will not be eating the best food and we will not be wearing the fanciest clothes. We will be serving others out of love.
In the rest of this packet I have included an outline of what we will be doing and who will be going. Please begin to pray about our trip today and every day until we return. The list also includes the “what to bring” and “what not to bring” lists. I want to make a special not of cell phones. Yes you can bring your cell phone, BUT with restrictions. There will be times when you will not be able to have it with you AND you will run the risk if having it stolen.
Each of you needs to turn in a “Parental Permission Form and $200 before we leave. If you did not attend Acquire The Fire you will also need to turn in a Medical Release Form. If you have any other questions please call me at 886-3036 or 213-0014.
I am glad you are going on the trip and I look forward to seeing what God is going to do. Let’s start praying today that God will use us for His glory and that He will teach us from all that we encounter while in California.
Sincerely,
Justin Mourn
P.S. – please be flexible and with the schedule. Not everything is listed

If you have heard a rumor that Dave broke the water fountain at Reality Check Teen Center and that we will be meeting at our old place tomorrow then you have heard some truth. Because of water damage we will be meeting at our old room at CBF tomorrow at 6:45. Come ready for a good lesson, worship and ultimate frisbee.
L.A. Service Trip
May 2
It is now a short amount of time until we leave for LA. We will be going to Los Angels, CA to work with Orange County Rescue Mission. Our reason is to work with the less fortunate in the name of Jesus. The reason we are going all the way to California is to get outside of our normal Christian circle and see what God is doing in other parts of the world AND to grow by seeing what is happening in areas that are different culturally from Barber County. Anyone who will be in high school this next year is invited to go with us. The seats are limited and it is a first come offer. I look forward to serving and growing on our trip! All glory and honor to God!
