Well...a few weeks ago our Student Ministry of Blue Valley Baptist Church embarked on a journey to Omaha to participate in servant-evangelism.  I know many of you have been anticipating these pictures and comments as to how it had an impact.  Enjoy!

We began our morning together on June 19 around 9:30 am with a group shot before we began our journey to Omaha for the College World Series.

 Upon arrival to the 9th Inning Ministry site, led by Jay & Jeri Dess, founders of Thirst No More Ministry our Students and Adult Volunteers we fully engaged in stocking 4 pick-up truck beds worth of water.  Each case contained 24 bottles of water with the message of the gospel explained in a simple format.  Check it out..

Jessie Chastain, Site Leader for Thirst No More, Andie Kincaid, and Seth Kincaid rockin' the water bottles as they prepare to hand out over 300 bottles of water.

As an example this team is displaying what took place among our entire group of 19 students and 5 adults.  Our Mission Team served were placed at four different around the stadium of the CWS.  Each student and adult were able to serve in the same way as shown above.

Friday morning we had a fun day at Omaha's Henry Doorly Zoo.  We spent roughly 6 hours at the Zoo to take in all the sights.  Later that day we served at our servant-evangelism sights and then we attempted to go to the North Carolina vs. LSU game...where we were rained out...so we thought...later that night the game went on.

All together for the 3 days our Student Ministry served giving away over 7,000 free ice-cold bottles of water.

With all our students did and how God used us to be salt and light for Christ, Jaxon Kincaid, Adam Bailey, and Alex Ragan were filled with joy and excitement.  This is a great pic of these fellas!

Before we departed Omaha to head home on Saturday, June 21 we gathered around Jay and Jeri Dess and our students prayed for them, their ministry, and how God would continue to use them in His service and seeing Kingdom growth.

Personally I am impacted by our students.  I am grateful to experience our first mission trip with each of these students and adults who faithfully served.  To my recollection each student displayed a positive attitude while being in the crowds of people and scorching heat.

I am thankful for our students and the Christ-like attitude each displayed all hours of the day.  God is at work and I and my family are so blessed to be a part of each students life and their family.

In Christ,

JWES CROCKETT, Minister of Students
