Though it looked a bit different this year from normal, this is the one activity this summer that wasn’t cancelled. The kids were able to complete service projects for the community; such as painting houses, landscaping, and building wheelchair ramps.
Both my son-in-law and oldest daughter also participate in Teen Mission. They are youth leaders and their church participates in the event. There are several local churches that come together. What began several years ago with a couple churches and a couple dozen students now consists of well over a hundred students.
My husband has always helped with music. This year he was there nearly every night helping with what was needed.
Every year Teen Mission holds a Community Day. This year Community Day consisted of helping pass out food from a mobile food pantry, Pass out school supplies to parents, as well as offer a free lunch to the entire community.
At the end of each night the work groups, which have been split up into various projects, meet back together for a service. After a week of work, prayer, and time in worship and God’s Word, the kids always come home feeling closer to God and proud of serving.
