Though Smith is too old to be in the youth group, she involved when the pastor ex- =cnded an invitation for young adults and adults to participate in the trip. “Honestly, at first I was skepti- cal about the impact we would have in one week,” Smith said. “But lately I've been praying about it and God has been re- minding me he is powerful enough to use our time and our willingness.

The junior English major at Penn State Wilkes-Barre would do whatever she can to spread the word of God, such as trans- lating the Bible or working with children and teenagers. “I've never been a traveler,” Smith said. “It runs in my family. We just like to stay home. It’s just one of those things I'm willing to sacrifice for God.” Smith’s twin sister, Kelly, is al- so making the trip and the two are trying to talk their younger sister, Rebecca, 14, into partici- pating. The missionaries are also aking sure they are spiritually uipped to teach people about the Lord. The teens are undergo- ing a discipleship program that teaches Bible-based Christian living at their youth group and in Sunday School. Then they par- ticipate in a 10 to 12 week pro- gram on how to share what the Bible says with others. Two weeks before the group leaves, it will participate in a personal Bi- ble study. “A lot of that is trying to help the kids mentally and spiritually prepare for the trip,” said Mark Wandel, pastor of Noxen Bible Baptj ji jure “It kind of looks at all the different aspects of these different ministries.” SMP 0008000400 000008000000 usssssssunny NO INTEREST NO PAYMENTS FOR 12 MONTHS’ ON ALL MODELS SHOWN CERTIFIED GOLD STAR DEALER BC3BUAI2875 -00235609 OBITUARIES BRADBURY - Lewis A. “Skip”, 63, of Dallas Township, died Monday, April 14, 2008 in the SI- CU of the Hospital of the Univer- sity Of Pennsylvania, Philadel- phia.
