Back in the saddle again

It seems like yesterday, that a group of 16 Woodsiders hopped on a bus for BWI airport heading to Freeport, Bahamas. The 10 youths and 6 adults had no idea what was in store. Was it going to be a total disaster? Or would it be more than we could have ever imagined? Well, 10 years later, Woodside is still here (and I'm the last one standing!) The 31 missionaries - 12 newbies - will be back again this summer to fulfill one of God's greatest commandments, "Love your neighbor as yourself." Some of us are already there interning for an entire month, waiting for their Woodside friends to arrive. Over the course of the past decade, over 200 Woodsiders and friends have traveled to the Bahamas to help Karazim Ministries serve the people of the island. A lot has changed in those 10 years - from the daily schedule and types of jobs, to the devotions and the beach service. But one thing has remained constant, our desire to serve God and seek His love in the process. And hopefully this year will no different.
