After four long years, it was so wonderful to see our friends at Condell Park Bible Church as the team had the opportunity to serve in their Holiday Kid’s Club. For four days, the Diving Dolphins (team blue), Squirting Squids (team red), and Clinging Clams (team green) competed for points by participating in crafts and […]
After getting a good brekkie at our local Macca’s/McDonald’s (we know that some would contradict this statement), we headed over to the Melbourne Airport to fly up to Sydney (about a 1.5 hour flight) while Ben and Dr. Cirone dropped off our rental vehicles and hitched a ride back to the airport. Because of all […]
After saying good-bye to our camp brothers and sisters in Christ and especially our friends from Calvary and Faith Baptist Churches, Ben and his group headed down to Wangaratta to check in at our caravan park and Missionary Zacharias and his group (Dr. Cirone, Josh, and Karina) headed back to Melbourne city. During Saturday evening […]
In many of our lives while growing up, camp has a special place in our hearts–oftentimes it is a place where we can come away from the hustle and bustle of life and allow God to work in an unforgettable manner. On Thursday morning after a quick morning outing to the Melbourne Central Business District […]
After our Saturday and Sunday ministries at Calvary Baptist Church, the team headed to Faith Baptist Church to team up with Pastor Frank and his crew. It was great to see the Guglielmo family again as well as members of their church as we ministered together during their three-day Holiday Kid’s Club (aka VBS). Having […]
One of the life-changing blessings of a missions trip are all the fellowship opportunities that one experiences. Each morning, our guy Day Leader (Trevor in the picture below) takes the time to share something from God’s Word to encourage us onward as we go throughout our day. On Monday evening, we were able to spend […]
What would be the likelihood in 2023 of two men being called to serve full-time in Australia serving on the same YOM Australia Team (2019) AND being from the same church? Seeing Missionary Josh Zacharias standing next to Educator Ben Jackey on Sunday was almost surreal–only a Great God can do something like that! What […]
Today, Madison brings us our exciting update–take it away! On their first full day in Australia, the team jumped right in to a full day of ministry. This morning, the men headed to Calvary Baptist Church (CBC) to participate in the men’s breakfast. Dr. Cirone was able to share the truth found in Philippians 4:9 […]
Thank you for your prayers as we arrived safely to Australia this morning (Friday) around 9:30 am. The flight was fairly smooth and uneventful and several of us even feel rested from our 15-hour plan journey. It was so good to see Missionary Josh Zacharias and our 2019 YOM Team Australia Ben Jackey who both […]
Everyone has made it to LAX, checked their bags, gone through security, and are now sitting at Gate 154 in LAX’s Terminal B awaiting our 10:20 pm flight–15 hours of sheer excitement! ;0) Today was a great day filled with team bonding and surprises such as the announcement that was just made a minute ago […]
