Hey everyone! my name is Caleb Jones, I am seventeen years old, And i am from Seattle, Wa. I recently moved to Azle Texas, and it is quite the adventure. I moved here with my mom and my dad because we believe that this is where God wants us.
I guess I am just supposed to give you guys a little bit of info about me now? Well, some hobbies of mine are playing guitar, singing, swingdancing, building cajons, slacklining, skateboarding, and beatboxing. I have been beatboxng for about 7 years now, and I tend to start rap battles between people who you would never expect to be battle rapping.
I love kids. I think it is because it isn’t that difficult for me to act like a child and instantly be one of them. I had the wonderful opportunity to be a part of a team of teenagers that goes to northern Washington and hosts a Vacation Bible School for the kids in the communities near Marblemount, WA for the past 3 years. I was able to lead the team this last year and it was a very humbling experience to be able to see how God is using each and every one of the youth that were a part of leading the VBS. The kids that attended made an impact on me that I will never forget. I remember one of the kids, his name was J.R., he was a very special guy. I took notice early on in the week that the rest of the kids followed his lead. They looked up to him. The last day his grandmother came to pick him up, and I remember tears coming from her eyes because she said that J.R. would come home, telling his whole family about what he learned that day in VBS. His grandmother told me that J.R. would be the reason his parents would be going back to church. In that moment I realized how powerful children are in the kingdom of God.
I have been to Mexicali for missions trips 3 times with my church. The last year i went I got to help build a house for a family that didn’t have one, but definitely deserved one. The father of the family didn’t just sit around and watch us build it, he was helping us everyday. I learned a lot on that trip, and I will never forget the faces or the joy of the people in that community.
