2008 Findlay Ohio Trip 

 

 

Missions

In recent years this congregation, through its Mission Outreach Committee, has sent workers to sites around the world and across the Eastern US to spread the Gospel in Word and Deed.  Sites have included Haiti, the Philippines, Trinidad, Greece, as well as West Virginia, Western Pennsylvania and rural southern Maryland.  Participants work among the poorest people in the world, as well as assist low income home owners and communities with clean-up from flooding and poverty.

Some of the work includes caulking, scraping and painting; replacing roofs and flooring; hanging drywall; gutting and tearing out buildings; working on foundations, building decks and ramps; cleaning up debris; landscaping and simply encouraging people in despair.  On occasion, Youth Groups can lead children's ministry programs in conjunction with a local church or organization.  Teens also have helped at local food pantries.  Work has been done on homes, churches, community centers, schools, libraries, graveyards and community parks to give hope to the residents.

The Domestic trips are under the guidance of congregational youth leaders Kathy Bittner and Dale Reichert; the International trip is guided by Wilson Hoffman.  The trips build not only hope, homes and relationships, but changes the lives of participants.
