From the very start Calvary has had an outstanding tradition of youth participation in international mission trips. On the first mission trip to the Dominican Republic five of the fifteen participants where in their teens. Calvary has been blessed with outstanding youth participation in all of the international mission trips since then. From the Dominican Republic to Namibia in Africa, our teams have consisted of at least one third to as much as half of youth under the age of twenty.
In looking for photos to post on this page I came across the one below.
The above photo was taken by Sarah Dorrance in 2005 as the first DR mission team were packing their bags in the church for the trip. In the photo are Kaitlin Murphy (center) and her two sisters Emily (right) and Meagan (left). They were hanging out after church watching us pack. So now lets flash forward five years to today and Calvary's fourth DR mission team. On this years team are Kaitlin Murphy and her father Pat. It seams somehow we have come full circle. Kaitlin is now in high school and carrying on Calvary's youthful tradition of missionaries. She is one of three members of this years team who are in high school and five out of a total of our ten team members are under twenty five. The picture below shows Kaitlin as she is today (front row, third from left in pink coat). Also in the picture are the team's other teenage missionaries, Taylor Byrd (front row second from left by Kaitlin) and Chad Byrd (back row third from right, red hair).
