SUMMARY:High School Youth Mission Trip
DESCRIPTION:We will be returning to the greater Caldwell Ohio area the week of July 12-18\, 2026. \nThe team will be commissioned at the 11am Prayer & Praise service Sunday\, July 12\, after which they will leave for the greater Caldwell\, Ohio area until Saturday\, where they will serve the residents – seniors and widows – in various capacities. Each year our students return to the area to work on projects such as outdoor cleanup and landscaping\, deck repairs\, painting and other building projects. Most importantly they develop lasting relationships with people who need to hear\, see and feel the love of Christ. \nOur High School Youth work incredibly hard during this trip. They sacrifice a week from their summer break and work to make a difference in people’s lives. Please pray for the Team and Mr. John Welte as they serve in southeastern Ohio over the week! Pray for their safety\, for the the residents they will be assisting\, and for their hearts to be moved ever closer to the Lord that they serve. \nFollow their week on Facebook HERE
