In just a few weeks Crystal will be headed off for her third trip to Latvia. As part of her ministry with Bridge Builders International she has been able to assistant the American participants that travel to Latvia with BBI each summer.
Crystal with American participants of teRiga 2004.
This summer she will again be helping with teRiga. teRiga is a strategic service project with the intent of making the church more relevant to the community. Many youth and adults will serve throughout the week by participating in service such as city beautification projects and many others. 
The idea behind teRiga is that the church will earn the trust of the community by serving and thus be an effective tool in sharing the gospel. Recently, in our own church, Doxology, we have been challenged to answer the question: “If your church were to disappear completely, would anyone notice?”. 
We truly want to live a life on this earth that is reflective of our Savior:
“Love the Lord your God with all your heart soul and mind... and LOVE your neighbor as your self.”
Matt. 22:37
