Alone? Well...mostly. Forrest went all the way to AFRICA without his parents. He joined a small group from our local church to serve in Tanzania for about 10 days. This was a life-changing experience for him. Praise the Lord!

we all come short of the glory of god, and But we are all as an unclean thing, and all our righteousnesses are as filthy rags; and we all do fade as a leaf; and our iniquities, like the wind, have taken us away. jesus said i am the way the truth and the life noone cometh unto the father but by me, hell is a place of weeping and gnashing of teeth, god so loved the world that he sent his only begotten son that whoesoever believeth on him should not perish but have everlasting life , jesus died for your sins and after 3 days god raised him from the death!!!

Forest has literally Mom's face and Dad's voice. Love this Godly young man!

Yes! He looks just like Lindsay. Very handsome young man, and such a kind heart ❤️.

Forrest looks so much like his mother! What a mature young man! I am glad Forrest had this very beautiful experience to fellowship with others of faith in ways that are different and yet uniquely the same. Glad you are back with the family. The Lord God be magnified!

Thank you Forrest for not being afraid to go without your family and to be open to what the Lord could teach you.

Love to see them worshipping true God! I am a new born Christian from India. My daughter is a registered nurse in Bristol UK. I am praying for a God fearing husband for my daughter.

So true!

About 30 years ago, I went to Africa with my 14 year old daughter. We went to build a church and do medical work with a group. We were there for 3 weeks, and while on safari my daughter turned 15. It was an amazing experience! So much so, that I went again 5 years later, this time without any other family members. Once you've been to Africa, Africa is "in you". I felt like I was meant to be there. It was the epitome of "awesome"! So glad you got to experience this Forrest! You will truly remember this for the rest of your life!

Not true for everyone. As a young woman I went to Afrika twice and realized, this continent will never be " in me". I ended up in Jemen, glad I did.

What an amazing trip for a 14 year old young man. We give you all the praise & glory Lord Jesus! 🙏♥️

Welcome to Africa!!!! Thank you for allowing the Lord to use you and for being an encouragement to other teenagers like me. It is a privilege to serve God and pray that we (all young people who know the Lord) will be empowered to serve Him in this way, too🙏

How wonderful that Forest was blessed to have this experience. The Lord is extremely good and He has all things worked out ahead of us, as we yield willingly to Him daily; acknowledging Him in all our ways. Thank you so much for sharing this. You all are a great blessing!!🙏

One of the most inspiring views of Africa I've ever seen! Thank you.

The Lord bless you Forrest,

I cried through this. Washing someone’s feet changes your whole perspective, and letting someone wash your feet does, too. Forrest, you participated in some of the most important things - sharing Jesus, washing feet, baptizing, playing with and giving to children. As for worship, Jesus saved our lives- we SHOULD be enthusiastic in our worship of Him!!!! I think Western culture does us a great disservice in that area. Bless you Forrest, I hope you get more opportunities like this in the future. God loves you so much, and serving Him is a wonderful way to “love Him back”!!! Serving at home is, too:)

@@ericafair9983 and davidinchcliff4560 I figured that is what he might be referring to. It most certainly IS in the Bible. In John 13, during what we call the “last supper”, Jesus gave us the custom of communion, which most Christians do even today.But most people are not aware that in John 13, Jesus also washed the disciples’ feet AND told them in verses 14-15, “ Now that I, your Lord and Teacher, have washed your feet, you also should wash one another's feet. 15) I have set you an example that you should do as I have done for you. “ But almost nobody talks about that, and very few churches actually do it. Even to the point of someone claiming it “is not Biblical”. Jesus did it in connection with communion but gave no command about when to do it. So just like some churches have communion on the first Sunday of the month and others on the last, etc, I think God leaves it up to each church to decide how or when to have foot washing. But Jesus DID say to do it.

He's growing into such a wonderful young man. Well done Forrest!

God bless this young man! We believe in taking young people into all the world as we go. We had our sons in Haiti by age 12. Your son will be forever changed for the Lord's glory! You parents are doing a wonderful job in raising the children in the Lord. God bless each of you!

That was wonderful! How the Lorddoes set things up :-). Yes, Forest is very mature and responsible, especially for his age. Well done, parents! Absolutely beautiful job of videography, Forest. I cried through most of it. Praise the Lord!!

What a beautiful testimony! My heart is thrilled for Forrest. Praise our wonderful Lord.

Young man you're something else. May God be with you.

SO NICE TO SEE HIM WORSHIP WITH THE AFRICAN PEOPLE, REMEMBER, DAVID DANCED BEFORE THE LORD WITH ALL HIS MIGHT...

Forrest GOD blessed you and your family ❤

A foreign mission trip would definitely grow us mentally and spiritually! It sure opens our eyes to have a glimps of how other parts of the world live and worship. Their joyfulness is so contageous in the video that I wanted to jump up from my seat and worship with them! And Forest, you have definitely become a more mature teen than the last time I saw you. Praise the Lord for the transformation in you!

Made me cry tears of joy. Such love for the Lord you all have & how people in other countries are so grateful for all that God gives them. Their love for the Lord is raw & so beautiful! Thank you for sharing. God bless you all!❤

tank you JESUS for that boy that serve you and his famelly and friends bless them protect them cover them by your blood Jesus amen

Beautiful! What a wonderful opportunity for a 14 year old!

Forest has grown up beautifully and that was just an amazing trip he took. I am sure he will never forget it.

God bless you!

Forrest you are a wonderful narrator! Thank you for sharing your amazing experience.

He wasn't alone.

I went to Honduras on a medical mission when i was a college student. You are changed forever.

Glad to see Forest for desiring to serve God at his age. May God bless him and grant him knowledge and wisdom.

What a great opportunity and spiritual experience for Forrest. There is nothing like going to a foreign country and meeting the people who are our brothers and sister in the Lord and also being able to share the gospel of Christ with those who desperately need Him. In June of 2021 my husband and I were privileged to minister for 2 weeks in Kenya. A point in our lives that we will cherish forever. God is so good! God is using you and will continue to use you for His glory!

Well done Forrest , God bless you and use you mightily in His work .

Forest you are a lucky boy to have got such a wonderful experience to witness the spreading of the holy gospel for our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ in Africa. God bless you and lead you in many more in your future life. 🙏👍😁😍

Thank you, Forrest, for sharing! Blessings!

Forrest has become such a beautiful kind young man. It touches my heart to see how welbehaved and wise he is for his age. You can see he gets a good upbringing with the right norms and values. Thank you for sharing this video. Deborah from The Netherlands

This boy has grown up to be a responsible teenager.. watch this family for 7 yrs already I think..😊

Shalom aleichem, I'm Dezmond Yahuda from Nigeria. I'm a Messianic Jew, and I've been watching your channel for long. Love your family.

Such a wonderful experience to be a part of Forrest! What a blessing! I enjoyed this video, thanks for sharing!

This video brought tears of joy and flooded me with memories. My son went with our church to Jamaica, 3 years in a row. He left the first time at 13 and came back a changed young man. Giving all glory to God!! So thankful Forrest had this experience, even though it was not your plan as a family, it surely was God's!! Love, hugs and prayers from a Great Grandma in Kansas

Hallelujah for your trust in The LORD. This is so precious to the Father, you trusted your child to Him. Hallelujah Hallelujah Hallelujah Hallelujah Hallelujah Hallelujah Hallelujah and amen

God bless you always Forest🙏 i admire you. At a young age, the Lord is using you in his vineyard. Carry on 😊💓

Forrest is a very mature young man. You parents have guided him well. Beautiful story.

I have been watching your episodes for a couple years and watched you remodel your home and finally get your precious baby girl. I am always blessed by your episodes and family singing. I am the widow of an evangelical pastor and though not living as conservative a life style, I honor and respect the way you are living and raising your children. Your boys are adorable and so sweet. I just watched your Christmas walk in town and your testimony regarding anxiety. It was a blessing and I pray that it will encourage many. I have had only a one time experience so I know how debilitating it can be. The Lord has blessed me with an extrovert personality and simple faith. At almost 87, I’m still an active volunteer both in my church and the Christian retirement community where we moved in 2004. God is good all the time. Your family and ministry are in my prayers.

I allowed my daughter to go to Brazil at age 11 with her aunt and they worked on a mission launch. It changed her life forever and now she is a full time missionary in Africa. Praise the Lord that you had that life changing opportunity to visit, witness, and see what the Lord is doing around the world. God bless you Forest and your family.

You went "alone". But learned just how much JESUS is with you at all times ❤

Felicidades querido Forrest.

goodness gracious, forrest is now a young man ! The last I saw him he was just a little boy ...................So blessed to have so many beautiful, healthy children in your household !

Amén jesus christ boy God bless you🙏🙏🙌🙌🙌🤗🇨🇭🇨🇭🇨🇭🇨🇭👏👏👏👏

Brought me to tears. Forrest, you are precious to God and your family and it is such a blessing & encouragement to watch you serve the Lord and grow in Him. Thank you parents for setting the example for your children & for us ♡

Welcome to Africa Forrest

Forrest, you are a credit to your parents. You are a remarkable young man.

He looks so much like mom!!😊 He is growing into a good young man.❤

PRAISE JESUS and glen does amazing work for the locals there

God bless you Forest. Amazing young man. Keep using your talents for the Lord ❤️

❤ what an amazing experience ❤

As a Person born in THE separate democratic Country called SOUTH Africa… with 11 official ! Languages.. Just a few minor things… Each COUNTRY in Africa has different rules, laws, regulations and languages! AFRICA is a CONTINENT! I hope and pray you have a Blessed and happy visit! God Bless you! Glad you had a great time!

How beautiful it is!

We are glad that Forest came! we had great time together he is such a caring and respectful person. My kids love him and miss him alot😊 in very short time they have become very good friends!

Glory to Jesus

How beautiful! What a blessing to have such an incredible opportunity! Amen, may we all be strengthened and boldened through the Holy Spirit to go and make disciples! Beautiful words at the end.

My oldest daughter went to Romania on a mission trip she saved up for when she was 14. It was hard to let her go without us parents, but trusted friends took care of her and it was a trip she'll always remember! 🙌

Such a GREAT experience for him to go alone(but not really alone).... His HEAVENLY FATHER was there right beside him..... 💖💖😉

04:00 how beautifully do they sing! PTL! And Forest turned into a youg Man! It had been a while since I last visited the channel. Blessings to the family!

I feel very very happy just watching this. We are all brothers and sisters in christ Amen !!

It's wonderful to see their passion worshipping the Lord!

I'm glad that Forrest made it safely to Africa and a good time. I enjoyed seeing this video, and house churches were so good. Wildlife animals were beautiful. I have a friend who is going to Uganda again this year. She goes into prisons to share God, and she's been doing it for years. I've been to Nicaragua in 2013 with a group to take care of water. It was good to be there for a few good reasons. God bless you, Forrest, and your family.

What an awesome adventure for Forrest! I feel blessed just by watching the video of your trip.❤

Forrest is wise and mature beyond his years.

I'm from Kenya love watching your vlogs since Forrest was little on the sounds like reign tracks now he's all grown up Glory to God🎉

A wonderful thumbnail, beautifully filmed, skilfully edited, and Forrest has a great voiceover. Blessings!

Wow, that is so amazing! That would have been hard as a parent to send him without you! What a blessed experience for him, that he will always remember!

So happy for you Forrest!! I've been watching you many years and you have grown into a wonderful young man! What a blessing from the Lord that you were able to go and show the love of Christ to the African brothers and sisters. I know that the Lord will continue to use you for His kingdom!

Forrest, reminds if his mom, how expresses. Wonderful to see children, especially young men, doing the work of Jesus Christ..have a bless day all

Such a good experience for Forrest .. so mature. Thank you for sharing. I live in South Africa .. a bit further away from where you were. God bless you always. 🤗💕🙌🏻

I grew up in Bulawayo Zimbabwe and my early childhood memories were of meetings on Sundays under a tree with the African people very much like Forrest’s experiences. It changes you forever.

What a wonderful experience for Forrest. I spent a year as a missionary nurse in Kenya back in 1982. It was a brilliant, life affirming & life changing experience for me. I often remember it & thank God for the opportunity. Forrest is growing into a wonderful godly young man. Love to all the family. X

Homeschool children, like these boys, are so very mature, well spoken & indeed educated in Beautiful things of this world 🙏🏻

What a God ordained testimony! Thank you!

Praise the Lord!!!❤

I see GOD preparing Forrest for incredible mission work as well as impacting other avenues. He has a tremendous calling and the spirit lives within him. GOD bless all!

Wow Forrest is now 14 years of age!!!!!!!!

Such a beautiful way to worship the Lord! Such excitement and joy!

Yeah- the key word here is responsible. Forrest shows tremendous maturity on this trip, a credit to the teachings and mentorship of his parents. So exciting to watch. God bless your family.❤.

The proclaiming of the Gospel of Jesus Christ is in good hands. Bless you and your family.

What a wonderful opportunity for Forrest. Trusting God in unknown situations can be hard for adults, but Forrest, it seems as though you absolutely did trust God. You went in to teach and bless others, yet you came away having learned and being blessed

Fantastic ❣️

What a wonderful adventure! The joy and exuberance was contagious. Loved how this was beautifully edited too. Forrest you are an incredible young man!

Wow! Just WOW!

Great effort ❤

So proud of Forrest !

I admire Forrest's corage and fearless determination to continue to go on this adventure for God ! And I'm thankful too, for the parents that raised him, so that he was able to go without them! A true mark of Christian maturity! God bless you all!! 🤗❤️❤️✝️
