    007. Across the Table: Back from the Mission Trip (yet the mission is never really done)

    We hope you will enjoy this special episode of our sister podcast Across the Table, from the Centenary Youth Ministry! We are back home and Across the Table following an AMAZING youth mission trip to San Juan, PR! In this episode, the word we repeatedly found ourselves saying is, “inexpressible,” because it feels almost impossible to encapsulate all the ways God showed up during our time abroad. Joining us to try to put words around the joy and transformation we experienced during our week of service and cultural immersion are three members of our Sr. High Mission Team: Maddie Plonk, Lindy Cannon and Mills Douglas. We hope you will listen and be inspired by these incredible missionaries and be moved to find your own way to serve the Lord somewhere in our community or world!
