Mission Trip

I am so excited to go on the mission trip! I’m excited to see what different things we will be doing in Manassas, Virginia. I want to experience serving God by helping other people. I think it will be very fun! The mini mission trip went very well, and I think the real mission will be perfect. I’d like to thank Ruth Keenan for praying for me.

leave these items at home, for security purposes
and because they can interfere with meeting new
friends. But if you do bring any of these items
with you, they may only be used in your sleeping
room–not on project sites, during programs, or in
public areas.


DONATION FOOD ITEMS TO BRING:

This was such a success last summer that we are again
asking each group to bring canned or boxed food to
camp with them. Working together, we all can make a
huge difference to literally thousands of families.
Here’s the details:
All food and donations will be given to a local
food agency.
If transporting food is a challenge, bring money
to purchase food while at your camp location.
Please donate only canned or boxed food (no
glass jars).

The sky is the limit! Last year, we raised over
156,000 items, can we beat that? Involve your
group, your congregation, friends, and your local
businesses in the effort. You can even add more
food to the pile throughout the camp week.
