感恩的旅程
從預備到歸程的美好回憶
回顧這段旅程，心中充滿了感謝與溫暖。
💡 行前教育的提醒：
我們提醒大家學會欣賞不同、互相支持。旅途中，這些價值真的發揮了作用——看到同學們彼此主動關心、分享與幫助，真美。
🌉 過關轉機的小挑戰：
舊金山一下機，連續好幾關：過海關、拉行李、托運、再安檢……每個步驟都需要冷靜與團隊合作。大家雖然疲憊，卻井然有序，同學們還能幽默互動，讓壓力變輕了。
🍟 機場的午餐：
許多學生第一次在美國自費外食，大家分頭尋找食物，然後準時集合登機。這種小事，其實是成長的練習！
🏡 住宿家庭的安排
每個家庭都讓孩子們感受到被接納與疼愛，生活中充滿了笑聲與真誠，感謝每一位接待家庭的付出！
⛺ 營地生活：
主題設計太棒了！「關係 & 成功人生 & 金錢管理」。
學習情緒管理、學建立好關係、定義成功人生、學支出、做選擇… 學得實用又好玩！
🏛️ 參觀與探索：
汽艇博物館、大聯盟球場、Outlet 購物，爵士樂博物館… 每一站都充滿驚喜，也打開我們對世界的眼界。
🌟 每一個環節，不只是行程，而是生命的雕刻。我們看見彼此的真誠、看見年輕生命的成長，也看見神一路的保守與供應。
🙏謝謝每一位參與者、領隊、老師、接待家庭、家長的信任與支持，還有中和恩典教會和美國生命之心教會的弟兄姊妹，在背後持續的代禱，這是一段我們永遠會記在心裡的旅程。
A Grateful Journey: Beautiful Memories from Start to Finish
Looking back on this journey, our hearts are filled with gratitude and warmth.
💡 Pre-trip preparation:
We reminded everyone to appreciate differences and support one another. Throughout the trip, these values truly came to life — how beautiful it was to see students taking the initiative to care, share, and help each other.
🌉 The challenge of transfers:
As soon as we landed in San Francisco, we faced several steps in a row: immigration, baggage claim, re-checking luggage, security checks… Every step required calmness and teamwork. Though tired, everyone moved in order — and even joked and encouraged one another, which helped ease the stress.
🍟 Airport lunch:
For many students, it was their first time buying a meal on their own in the U.S. Everyone spread out to find food, then regrouped on time to board. A small task, but truly a step of growth!
🏡 Host family experience:
Each family made our students feel loved and welcomed. Laughter and sincerity filled their daily lives — we are deeply thankful for every host family’s care and hospitality.
⛺ Camp life:
The theme was amazing: Relationships, A Successful Life, and Money Management.
Students learned emotional management, how to build healthy relationships, how to define success, how to manage expenses, and how to make wise choices — practical, fun, and deeply meaningful.
🏛️ Outings & exploration:
From the Steamboat Museum to a Major League Baseball game, outlet shopping, and the Jazz Museum… every stop was full of surprises and helped broaden our worldviews.
🌟 Every part of this trip wasn’t just an itinerary — it was a journey of shaping lives.
We witnessed sincerity among students, saw young hearts grow, and most of all, experienced God’s protection and provision every step of the way.
🙏 A heartfelt thank-you to every participant, leader, teacher, host family, and parent — and to the brothers and sisters from Zhonghe Grace Church and Heart of Life Church in the U.S. for their faithful prayers.
This is a journey we will always treasure in our hearts.
