Last week, part of my sermon was on getting involved where God is at work among us. If you are needing to see the spark of Christ or needing to renew your walk with Christ, Mission work is a way God regularly uses to pour Grace into our lives. Curt Eiffert has worked in both Bastrop (after last summer's fires) and in Joplin following the tornado last year. Curt is leading Cross Way's effort to partner with our mother church, Grace Avenue UMC, to go on a non-emergency relief effort.
The details are below. Please contact Curt Eiffert ASAP if you would like to participate or need more information.
A few details:
- Dates: July 19 – 22
- The work will likely be housing construction. Of course, their needs change and we are in flux depending on where projects are so we will be flexible and help out in whatever way they need once we get there.
- The plan is to leave Thursday morning, eat lunch on the way, and work Thursday afternoon. We will work Friday and Saturday and then return Sunday morning.
- We will stay at Faith Village, which is volunteer housing they created specifically for this purpose. 3 Meals a day are included and the cost is $20 per person per night. I am working on the overall cost of the trip and should have that information soon. A ballpark estimate is $150.
- The team will be 10 – 12 people, so if you would like to go please let me know as soon as possible.
In Christ,
Chris Yost
