Mission's Trip to War, W.Va.

In June of 2000, we sent 34 Jr Hi students and nine adults on a mission to War, WV, a small town located in the south-west corner of the state.  Our goal is to develop leaders and workers for Christ's church, a part of that is to teach our students  to trust God, act in faith, and to serve people. A trip like this can change lives. 

Working with AIM and another youth group, we went door to door, repaired a widow's house, visited a nursing home, ran a sport's camp, and a Vacation Bible School. A regional Christian preacher, Jarrod Jones, joined us and gave inspiring teachings each night. Over 20 area kids and a few teens prayed to receive Christ that week. 

This was our fifth year to send a team out.  In the past we have traveled to regions of Tennessee. In Tennessee we worked with Confrontation Point and this past year we worked with Adventures In Missions. Each year our students come back with a new outlook on life: a purpose bigger than themselves, and a growing knowledge of God's love and power.

Jarrod Jones tells students about God's plan to sacrifice his own son and offer us the free gift of salvation.
