Students in Cross Cultural Communication are beginning a time of learning, growth, and apprenticeship that will take them on an eleven-day trip with extended stays in State College and New York City.
This morning we gathered in classroom 210 at 10:00 AM for an orientation to the trip. Anita walked us through the schedule for the day and led a discussion about the World Outreach Weekend preparation packet that each student worked through in days prior.
We then packed our lunches, loaded the vans, and embarked on the journey toward State College, riding in a 12 passenger van piloted by David and a mini van piloted by Josiah.
Our route went through the beautiful town of Franklin, so we stopped in the park at the square to eat lunch.
Many in our group are weary from last week’s ministry trips to Mexico and Arkansas. As the vans snaked through the mountains bright with fall colors, the occupants slept.
By about 4:30, we arrived at All Nations Bible Translations’ headquarters, perched on “The Hill.” David Miller gave us a brief tour and showed us to our lodging locations. The men will stay in the upstairs of the large headquarters building. Anita, the ladies, and Jaran and Sara, will stay in the log cabin across the driveway.
After settling in, we made the few minute drive to attend Followers of Jesus’ church service. We were blessed by the time of sharing, a message from Ephesians 4:11-13, and fellowship over food that followed the service. After the meal was cleaned up, we traveled back to headquarters, had a short debrief meeting, and went to bed with eager expectation of the good things to come tomorrow.
