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.

2008 Summer Domestic Mission Trips

Once again we will join with Christian Endeavor for trips during the Summer of '08! The date is June 22-28, 2008.  The trip will be to Findly, Ohio. Cost is $290 with $100 deposit due on January 15th with the balance ($190) due by April 1st. Children as young as 11 may go with a parent and people from age 13 to 100 can attend! They need assistance for: kitchen help and delivery persons if you would rather minister in this way. Just talking to our home owners is ministering enough even if you don't feel able/capable of doing physical work for 4½ days. Pray about it, consider it and come with us this year. Don't procrastinate! One guarantee: it will change your life forever.  For more information or to sign up for a trip, please contact Kathy Bittner at domesticmissions@christniantic.com.
