What's this Mission Trip All About?
At St. Agatha Parish in Milton, we are blessed to have many young people who beautifully desire to serve those in need. This desire has carried us to serve on a short-term mission in West Virginia through a Christian-based organization called the Appalachia Service Project .
We travel 15 hours by van to the mountainous Lincoln County in West Virginia to work with real families who have to make daily decisions between things such as: medication and food, fixing the floor or buying shoes for their children, paying utilities or buying gas for their car...
We help these folks in a physical way by repairing roofs, installing drywall, placing support beams, re-siding, fixing floors, and other essential home repairs. We also build friendships with and minister to those families we serve.
This is all amazing work!! However, this amazing work comes at a price. We are still about 6 thousand dollars away from breaking even on the costs of our trip. In addition to each volunteer's tuition, we have to consider renting 8 large vehicles, gas, tools, extra drinks while working in the heat, etc. It quickly adds to a lot for 52 of us!
We would be INCREDIBLY grateful for any donations you would prayerfully consider to offer. We would be very happy to share our experience with you upon our return so you can see and feel blessed in where your generosity led us.
Thank you in advance for your prayerful support and generosity. God bless your family.
In the joy of Christ,
St. Agatha's Young Church Ministry
