"Destination Unknown" - Middle School Mission trip - June 29 - July 2, 2003

It's not about where you are going, but what you were created to do!

Destination Unknown 2003 Recap

Annabelle, Rachel, Rachel, Elise, Brett, Kolin, Lauren, and Mauna all served in Toledo and Akron during this summer mission experience. Jonathan and Alyssa Stufft provided leadership for the team. In Toledo, our team worked for the Toledo Service Project where we weeded an urban garden, trimmed hedges, cleaned up and mulched landscape beds, and mowed the lawns for three properties owned by Toledo FOCUS. One morning of dedicated service by our team saved an entire week of work for the crew of 2 that normally maintains the properties. As an additional part of the Toledo Service Project, our team helped clean up trash and debris from more than two city blocks - twelve bags in all! We even inspired third grade Brittany, a local resident, to help with the work in her neighborhood!

In Akron, the team continued their service by supporting OPEN M, a neighborhood mission center. We painted two public bathrooms in the mission center, as well as completing some previous painting begun by another volunteer group. This outreach saved several days worth of painting for the maintenance supervisor at the mission center, and allowed him to attend to other high priority work in the building. The entire team would like to extend a heartfelt thank you to all of the members who support the Hands-On Mission fund, as well as request your continued support so that experiences such as this can be made available to all who wish to reach out to others with the love of Jesus.
