The Final Month

It’s the final countdown! We have officially made it to the last month in our trip. That is so crazy to think about. God has been so good to us here, and it has been incredible to see how RIOT has grown since September.

Recently, RIOT held its first annual (hopefully) 5K run/walk! We spent a ton of time planning and praying for this event, and it could not have been more perfect. The weather was BEAUTIFUL! Sunny, slight breeze, not a cloud in the sky! We had 70 participants in the race and a bunch of people come to enjoy the BBQ afterwards. It was so nice to get the community together and show what RIOT has been doing. RIOT was able to raise £1,212 (which is about $2,000). We were so blessed. Many of you sent in your support for this event and ran the race in the states. Thank you so so so much for your support toward RIOT and the ministry that is happening here! You are making a huge difference in people’s lives.

For our last month here, it is going to be full of weekend groups and mission trip teams staying at RIOT. We are continuing our regular youth programs throughout the week, and slowly preparing to leave. The last week here we are attending a Christian conference, which Jenna and I both are really excited for!

Leaving here is going to be very bittersweet. We have grown tremendous amounts and learned so much. But we are so grateful for this next month and are trying to remain intentional in the ministry were doing.
