<p>Back at the end of October, I went on a mission trip with my boss to the island of Eleuthera in the Bahamas.  It&#8217;s an island about 100 miles long and 2.5 miles wide at it&#8217;s widest point and is home to around six small settlements.  We worked with an organization called <a href="http://www.methodisthabitat.org/" target="_blank">Bahamas Methodist Habitat</a>, a mission of the <a href="http://www.bahamasmethodist.org" target="_blank">Bahamas Conference of the United Methodist Church</a>, which focuses on disaster relief and sub-standard housing repair to the people of the Bahamas.</p>
<p>While we were there, we worked on an ongoing project of building a new house for a lady who currently lives in a small shack with no electricity and no running water.  If you take a look at <a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/richwood34/4072159422/in/set-72157622600448337/" target="_blank">this picture</a>, you&#8217;ll see how her new house compares to her current one.  I also spent part of a day installing a wireless access point at Camp Symonette, where we stayed at.  We went to one of the most interesting Methodist worship services I&#8217;ve ever seen as well.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/richwood34/sets/72157622600448337/" target="_blank">Here are the pictures</a> that I took from our trip.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.methodisthabitat.org/">Bahamas Methodist Habitat</a> is fully supported by donations and there are a lot of needs that require attention. By making a donation you will allow for renovations to the camp that will help transform it into a more effective tool for God’s work.</p>

<p>About a month ago, I went on a mission trip to the island of Eleuthera in the Bahamas.  I&#8217;ll write more about my experience later, but wanted to share with you a little bit about how you can support an organization that is changing the lives of the people in Eleuthera, Bahamas Methodist Habitat.</p>
<p>Camp Symonette is the heartbeat of Bahamas Methodist Habitat, a Christian mission that is spreading the love of Jesus throughout the Bahamas by doing good works on 10 different islands. The camp houses staff members, long-term volunteers and a slew of Bahamian children and over 600 short-term volunteers during the season.</p>
<p>The camp is fully supported by donations and there are a lot of needs that require attention. By making a donation you will allow for renovations to the camp that will help transform it into a more effective tool for God&#8217;s work.</p>
