KMBC Students Spotted in 3 Foreign Countries to Kick off the New Year!

This past Christmas break, 11 KMBC students took the Great Commission to heart and traveled the world for Christ. Our Anthem quartet, made up of Robby Lower (Junior), Paul Glover (Sophomore), Yechan Son (Sophomore), and Samuel Deal (Sophomore), went to Mexico with a church group they got connected with over their summer tour. Ashlee Stewart (Junior) and Laura Eash (Freshman) made the pilgrimage to the Holy Land with our Hebrews professor, Mr. Zane Darland, and a local pastor, Rev. Charles Glover. Mr. David Street, our Romans professor, took Velda Miller (Sophomore), E.J. Wright III (Freshman), Seamus Lenihan (Freshman), Shontay Banks (Freshman), and Jacob Elliot (Freshman) to a Central American country to share the Gospel. Along with Mr. Street and these students, 1 alumnus-Ms. Lindsay Street (Class of 2014), 2 KMBC/Mt. Carmel staff members (Ms. Leah Settles and Mrs. Phyllis Light) made the trip as well! In all, these 11 students, 2 professors, 2 staff members, 1 alumnus, and 1 pastor traveled well over 85,000 miles in the name of Christ!

The Anthem Quartet was given the opportunity to spread the Gospel in Tijiuana, Mexico after they met the coordinator of the mission trip at his church. The group had no idea that they would be offered this chance of a lifetime as this church was a regularly scheduled stop on their summer tour. After the service, the director of the mission approached them with this great opportunity, as well as the generous means by which to go. The quartet readily agreed and started planning for the mission trip that would change their lives. They all testified to God’s goodness and love as they met the local people at the church they were working at, as well as the “Breakfast Club” where they made and served breakfast for locals on one day of their journey. Check out their pictures below, as well as their testimonies on God’s miraculous work!
Mr. Zane Darland, professor at KMBC, has gotten to go to Israel 3 times in the last few years! He’s taken classes there, toured the Holy Land, and this time he taught a class! Along with Rev. Charles Glover, Mr. Darland had the opportunity to take his class into God’s Promised Land. Together, the four of them saw the Mediterranean Sea, the Sea of Galilee, the Dead Sea, and the Jordan River! In addition to those, they walked in the footsteps of Christ in Capernaum and around the Galilean area as well as the Old City of Jerusalem. The group was in awe of the great history that the land possessed. Check out the album above to step into their shoes and read their testimonies to know, first-hand, what it was like to be in Israel!
Mr. David Street has teamed up, once again, with Vision Beyond Borders, to take a group of college students into a closed country to bring the Gospel. This year, he was able to travel with 5 students to Cuba. Because of the precarious nature of their mission being in a closed country, pictures of the local residents themselves, as well as the team working with them, would post safety risks to those involved. Below are a few pictures of the team as they served and testimonies from the students about God’s grace and provision in such an impoverished area!
