Celebrate Church IMPACT team’s final day in Abaco: a blend of hard work and well-earned relaxation. Linda and Terri share their heartfelt reflections from the team’s last moments on the island.

We had the chance to celebrate our new friendships and the opportunity to bless the incoming Abaco campers from the island.


The day began with the gift of another beautiful sunrise.

Tyler’s devotion this morning spoke of Jesus retreating to nature to commune with His Father. Our day progressed with many different jobs that we were assigned to complete on the Abaco campus. We were challenged to finish our tasks so we could enjoy the remainder of the day in the splendor of the Abaco beach, listening to God calling us “to go” with the sound of the waves.

We had an afternoon of free time which included snorkeling and shopping at a local souvenir shop featuring Bahamian-made crafts. The owner shared her story of God’s faithfulness to her family during hurricane Dorian.

 

We ended our final evening sharing our Impact stories with each other. It was a heartfelt experience.

“We expected something good, but God gave us something great.”

This profile represents the collective voice of our Many Hands Impact teams. The reflections shared here are written by everyday individuals, from students and parents to local community members, who have traveled to Haiti and Abaco to experience the mission firsthand. They are not full-time staff. They are volunteers stepping out in faith to be love in action. In these posts, you will read raw, unpolished stories of personal transformation. Our guest writers document the shared humanity discovered while working alongside local leaders on safe structures, education initiatives, and community development. Impact trips are designed to change the participant as much as the community they serve. Through their words, you get a front row seat to the exact moments people discover their purpose and learn to live with intention.
