During the summer, students take a much needed break from the classroom. It’s a time for students to rest and relax after months of the daily grind of school. Also during that time, many students opt to do something meaningful and to take part in an experience of a lifetime.
Many Peachtree Ridge, North Gwinnett and Greater Atlanta Christian High School students spent several months to train, and this summer, took part in Sugarloaf Missions, a Student Mission Group that is part of Sugarloaf United Methodist Church in Duluth.
There were four levels of mission trips:
Level one went to Newport, Tenn. and Savannah, Ga.
Level two went to New Orleans, Philadelphia and Rosarito, Mexico. Level three went to Costa Rica and Panama. Level 4 went to Peru and Cambodia.
Students who went to Peru worked with a missions organization called Frontline Peru, spending one week in the capital city of Lima working in the area of Pachacutec, and then one week in the Amazon jungle in the city of Pucallpa holding Vacation Bible Schools, youth outreach programs, orphanage visitation and other special construction projects to show God’s love in real and practical ways.
