Mason Fetelika:  Greetings from the GREAT NORTH REGION! In Acts 20:37 the Scripture reads,  They all wept as they embraced [the Sydney Mission air tickets discount Team] and kissed [them]…   This Scripture became reality tonight as disciples from the North and our beloved AMS Region came together in many tears and kisses as they bid farewell to all of us on the Sydney Mission Team.

We definitely air tickets discount want to thank the entire North Region for all that they have taught us, and for all of the sacrifice air tickets discount this young group has given to help us reach Sydney this year.

Tyler Sears:   Then he calls his friends and neighbors air tickets discount together and says, Rejoice with me; I have found my lost sheep.

Chris Adams of the OC Region:   After Peter refused to let Jesus wash his feet, Jesus answered, Unless I wash you, you have no part with me.
