June 2008
We have 4 groups leaving in June this year.
June 5 - 13 Villa Rica CC
This group is a first timer group going to work with Cris Garcia at Bethshean in Mexico. They will be doing a variety of activities while they are there. They will conduct two health clinics where they will do screenings for blood pressure and blood sugar along with general health information. They also will be visiting with elderly home, conducting VBS, doing hands on projects, and even conducting a CPR class. Yes, it will be a full week.
June 14 - 21 Christ Church Episcopal
Christ Church is our annual building group that goes to Juarez, Mexico to work with Casas Por Cristo. It is always the week that brings out the "do-it-yourself" side of each of us as we complete a two room house in one week from foundation to roof, even drywall. This group also works with a local minister - Samuel Martinez - to hold a health clinic at his church. This clinic opens up opportunities for the church to meet more people in their community and hopefully get them connected with a church. Pray for strength and endurance for this group.
June 22 - 28 Peachcrest CC
Peachcrest has a youth group going to work at Sunbelt Christian Youth Ranch in Lake, MS. They get to do fun ranch work like splitting wood and baling hay. They will also have some time to interact with the youth that live in the homes there. This is Peachcrest's first youth team, so we are excited to work with them and see how God can ignite the fire for missions in their youth. Judy will be leading this team of her home church. Pray for safe travel as they will be driving to MS, and of course for the strength they will need for their activities.
June 27 - July 5 Mt. Carmel CC
Mt. Carmel will once again be going to Bethshean in Mexico. They have their VBS program they will once again be taking on the road to the various villages. Each morning they will be visiting the elderly home where they will have a devotion, craft time, and lots and lots of singing.
