    Mission Trip 2015

     By the time you read this we will have chosen a destination...either Vancouver BC, San Francisco or Hawaii.  The focus of the mission trip is service learning in ministries that help the disadvantaged and to learn about the systems of injustice that maintain such brokenness.  It will also, most likely, be an opportunity to learn about how to get about in a large metro area without a vehicle.  We have substantial funds already raised from years of work; please pay attention to our fundraising efforts this spring and help us make the journey.
