I had the opportunity to return to Chicago this spring break through <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.cedarville.edu\/ministries\/global-outreach\"><span data-contrast=\"none\">Global Outreach (GO)<\/span><\/a><span data-contrast=\"none\">. It was my third time going on a GO missions trip. I went as a team member last spring and a team leader this past fall break. I&#8217;ll be honest, I was not sure if I was going to go on another trip this year; after last spring break, I wanted to go somewhere warm and get some R&amp;R, but God had other plans.<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;201341983&quot;:0,&quot;335559739&quot;:160,&quot;335559740&quot;:276}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b><span data-contrast=\"none\">Answering the Call<\/span><\/b><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;201341983&quot;:0,&quot;335559739&quot;:160,&quot;335559740&quot;:276}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"none\">I was asked to lead a GO trip to Chicago during spring break. Despite my initial spring break plans, I felt convicted to pursue this opportunity to further God\u2019s Kingdom. Looking back, I can&#8217;t imagine going anywhere else over break. It was a very humbling reminder of how God can use me despite my constant shortcomings.<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;201341983&quot;:0,&quot;335559739&quot;:160,&quot;335559740&quot;:276}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b><span data-contrast=\"none\">Off to Chicago<\/span><\/b><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;134233117&quot;:false,&quot;134233118&quot;:false,&quot;201341983&quot;:0,&quot;335551550&quot;:1,&quot;335551620&quot;:1,&quot;335559685&quot;:0,&quot;335559737&quot;:0,&quot;335559738&quot;:0,&quot;335559739&quot;:160,&quot;335559740&quot;:276}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"none\">The ministry in Chicago that we worked with was <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/icichicago.org\/\"><span data-contrast=\"none\">Inner City Impact<\/span><\/a><span data-contrast=\"none\"> (ICI). They work within their communities to meet the practical needs of kids and their families and show the love of Christ through service and teaching. It was such an honor to go and serve alongside them over spring break, and we had an amazing week!<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;201341983&quot;:0,&quot;335559739&quot;:160,&quot;335559740&quot;:276}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"none\">Our group of 10 Cedarville students were from all different majors and walks of life. After meeting weekly to get to know each other better and prepare for the trip ahead, we all piled into our GO vans and headed to Chicago! Even the van ride there was a great time of fellowship as a team. We arrived at ICI on Saturday around dinnertime, and we got settled in. Sunday started things off with a bang as we headed to church with the ICI staff, and we helped with the youth group after church. Sunday night and into Monday, we had an all-night lock-in with the high schoolers. This was such a blast and a great way to build connections with the kids!\u00a0<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;201341983&quot;:0,&quot;335559739&quot;:160,&quot;335559740&quot;:276}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-3463 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/blogs.cedarville.edu\/studentlife\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/image_50451457-1-scaled.jpg?resize=900%2C675&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"GO Chicago Team playing games with high school students.\" width=\"900\" height=\"675\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/blogs.cedarville.edu\/studentlife\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/image_50451457-1-scaled.jpg?w=2560&amp;ssl=1 2560w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/blogs.cedarville.edu\/studentlife\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/image_50451457-1-scaled.jpg?resize=250%2C188&amp;ssl=1 250w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/blogs.cedarville.edu\/studentlife\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/image_50451457-1-scaled.jpg?resize=700%2C525&amp;ssl=1 700w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/blogs.cedarville.edu\/studentlife\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/image_50451457-1-scaled.jpg?resize=768%2C576&amp;ssl=1 768w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/blogs.cedarville.edu\/studentlife\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/image_50451457-1-scaled.jpg?resize=1536%2C1152&amp;ssl=1 1536w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/blogs.cedarville.edu\/studentlife\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/image_50451457-1-scaled.jpg?resize=2048%2C1536&amp;ssl=1 2048w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/blogs.cedarville.edu\/studentlife\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/image_50451457-1-scaled.jpg?resize=120%2C90&amp;ssl=1 120w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/blogs.cedarville.edu\/studentlife\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/image_50451457-1-scaled.jpg?w=1800&amp;ssl=1 1800w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 900px) 100vw, 900px\" \/><\/p>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"none\">During the day for the rest of the week, we did various work projects around the facility before the kids came for the afternoon\/evening. These projects included painting, sheetrock installation, HVAC work, cleaning and organizing, light work in the gym, assembling tables, computer work, and more. These service projects allowed us to help ICI further their ministry and to work more efficiently after we are gone. Honestly, while these projects were dirty and difficult at times, they were such an amazing time to work all together and to be the hands and feet of Jesus.<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;201341983&quot;:0,&quot;335559739&quot;:160,&quot;335559740&quot;:276}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"900\" height=\"1200\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-3460\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/blogs.cedarville.edu\/studentlife\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/IMG_4600-scaled.jpg?resize=900%2C1200&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"The GO Chicago Team helped with work projects, such as painting and sheetrock.\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/blogs.cedarville.edu\/studentlife\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/IMG_4600-scaled.jpg?w=1920&amp;ssl=1 1920w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/blogs.cedarville.edu\/studentlife\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/IMG_4600-scaled.jpg?resize=250%2C333&amp;ssl=1 250w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/blogs.cedarville.edu\/studentlife\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/IMG_4600-scaled.jpg?resize=700%2C933&amp;ssl=1 700w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/blogs.cedarville.edu\/studentlife\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/IMG_4600-scaled.jpg?resize=768%2C1024&amp;ssl=1 768w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/blogs.cedarville.edu\/studentlife\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/IMG_4600-scaled.jpg?resize=1152%2C1536&amp;ssl=1 1152w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/blogs.cedarville.edu\/studentlife\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/IMG_4600-scaled.jpg?resize=1536%2C2048&amp;ssl=1 1536w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/blogs.cedarville.edu\/studentlife\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/IMG_4600-scaled.jpg?resize=120%2C160&amp;ssl=1 120w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/blogs.cedarville.edu\/studentlife\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/IMG_4600-scaled.jpg?w=1800&amp;ssl=1 1800w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 900px) 100vw, 900px\" \/><\/p>\n<p><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"900\" height=\"1200\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-3461\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/blogs.cedarville.edu\/studentlife\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/IMG_4590-scaled.jpg?resize=900%2C1200&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"The GO Chicago Team helped with work projects, such as painting and sheetrock.\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/blogs.cedarville.edu\/studentlife\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/IMG_4590-scaled.jpg?w=1920&amp;ssl=1 1920w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/blogs.cedarville.edu\/studentlife\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/IMG_4590-scaled.jpg?resize=250%2C333&amp;ssl=1 250w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/blogs.cedarville.edu\/studentlife\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/IMG_4590-scaled.jpg?resize=700%2C933&amp;ssl=1 700w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/blogs.cedarville.edu\/studentlife\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/IMG_4590-scaled.jpg?resize=768%2C1024&amp;ssl=1 768w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/blogs.cedarville.edu\/studentlife\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/IMG_4590-scaled.jpg?resize=1152%2C1536&amp;ssl=1 1152w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/blogs.cedarville.edu\/studentlife\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/IMG_4590-scaled.jpg?resize=1536%2C2048&amp;ssl=1 1536w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/blogs.cedarville.edu\/studentlife\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/IMG_4590-scaled.jpg?resize=120%2C160&amp;ssl=1 120w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/blogs.cedarville.edu\/studentlife\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/IMG_4590-scaled.jpg?w=1800&amp;ssl=1 1800w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 900px) 100vw, 900px\" \/><\/p>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"none\">In the evenings, we had club time with the kiddos, working with grades K-12 and interacting with a bunch of different groups throughout the week.

See that no one repays anyone evil for evil, but always seek to do good to one another and to everyone. Rejoice always, pray without ceasing, give thanks in all circumstances; for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus for you. Do not quench the Spirit.
