img_8621_32243296142_o

This week the team visited some of the most exciting
places to go on the west coast…
Disneyland and the beach!
But as we know, our Happiest Place on Earth
is when we are following Jesus together –
no matter where geographically we are!

time at Disneyland!

Taking a group of 33 people to Disneyland could be
crazy, but the team decides to experience the
fun together and wait patiently in line.

Isn’t it amazing to think that because of Jesus
we are heirs of the King of Kings?!

Don’t worry, Donaldson, Keith and Vincent didn’t
eat all of these burgers by themselves.

This was the first time seeing the Pacific Ocean for
most of the children!

What a wonderful experience for the children.
Feli said that she
“feels so small in front of God’s great big ocean!”

Jumping for joy that we have a BIG God
who made such a BEAUTIFUL world!

“Have you not known? Have you not heard?
The Lord is the everlasting God, the Creator of the ends of the earth.
He does not faint or grow weary;
his understanding is unsearchable.”
Isaiah 40:28

“For you are my hiding place; you protect me from trouble. 
You surround me with songs of victory.”
Psalm 32:7

What a wonderful truth that no matter where we are –
Kenya, Ethiopia, India, Haiti or somewhere
traveling on the HLF bus –
we are in the “happiest place on Earth”
when we are with Jesus!
