MISSION TRIP RECAP from Summer 2014 …
Earlier this summer, we were incredibly blessed to take five of our High School
Youth and two adults to Slidell, LA for a week-long mission trip with other youth
from Holston Conference. There we assisted in continuing home-repair and
community service efforts related to Hurricane Katrina destruction. Not only did
we learn valuable skills, but we got to see firsthand how the communities
surrounding New Orleans are still in great need and are only part-way through
a long process of recovery. We were given a perspective on how such tragedies
impact on many different levels, and that a community can greatly benefit just
from knowing the rest of the world hasn’t forgotten about them. Most of all we
learned from the homeowners we served that God is our Great Provider, and we
should count so many things a blessing that we normally take for granted.
