OLD SKOOL: American Samoa Youth Mission Trip 2000



Talk about back in the day. Man... check these pics out!!! Back in the summer of 2000, CC Living Water's Youth Group (now known as E3G) headed out to American Samoa. If you have no idea where that is... check out a map... go to the middle of the Pacific Ocean.. and it will be in that general area.


These pics bring back many memories.... !!! As you look at them.. you might see many familiar faces... maybe a lot skinner & smaller .. but they are still the same people.

When the team went there.. they came along side CC American Samoa.. and held a VBS, a Night of Champions outreach, day trips for the CC AS Youth.. and a whole lot more.



The island itself is so beautiful, and still a lot of it is untouched. The congregation was and I am sure it still is.. so hospitable.. though the team was like THOUSANDS of Miles away from home, they felt like they had family on the island. People still live in what they call villages... though they are modern in some aspects.. and there is only really ONE ROAD that runs the length of the island.


We ask that you would pray for CC American Samoa, as the church there is on a island that is filled with DEAD RELIGION!!! And Lord willing.. one day.. very soon, we might be able to take another team out there.


ALSO CHECK OUT THESE WEB SITES THAT WHERE MADE RIGHT AFTER THE TRIP (since they are old sites, some of the pictures found on the sites do not exist on them anymore)


And to see more pictures also check out the E3G Mission Trip Photo page.
