Weekly Photo Challenge – Grand

Posted on December 7, 2013 by Joe Owens

The Weekly Photo Challenge for this week is Grand. The idea is not only consider size, but the “wow factor”. My biggest wow came during my week long mission trip to Belize. We visited during the second week of December in 2012. I got to see so much and do some wonderful things. The day I returned to the USA I made plans to return. On Saturday the 7th of December (2013) I will return to continue my service and assistance.

Part of my grand adventure from December of 2012 as I got to visit a Mayan Archaeological site in Belize.

Another part of the grand adventure was visiting a pre-school where we shared shoe box gifts.

This is just inside the front door of Heart House. It is a neighborhood place kids come to read, play and learn about Jesus. We will do construction there the week of Dec 9th-13th 2013.

Ana and her husband Alfredo perform a grand service from their home, feeding 40-50 children every day since the schools in Belize do not have a government funded lunch program.

The feeling of serving others is something I consider grand and hope to do it for many more years.
