Honduras Mission Trip Report
July 26-August 3, 2003
Those who went: Howard Farris, Sue Henley, Fred
Hicks, Gert Myers, Nevin Starkey, Bill Gately and
Nancy Reynen.
I
want to thank everyone who contributed to the
mission to Honduras. It was a wonderful trip and
much was accomplished. The construction crew
finished the foundation for an addition to the
church and they were pouring the floor the day we
left. The medical team saw about 350 patients in 4
days and we dispensed 250 pairs of glasses. But the
most joy we received was the interaction with the
people of Puerto Cortes. They were so appreciative
of the help. Thank you for your help.

Youth
Force a Success!
July 2003
Six of our youth and two adult sponsors traveled to
Louisiana for a week of mission and service. They
were part of the Youth Force Mission Project in
which youth from all over the state join together
for weeks during the summer to repair homes for
elderly, disabled and low-income homeowners in
selected communities. In West Monroe, Louisiana
they joined with approximately 150 other students
and adults to repair 21 homes in four days. Team
projects included everything from painting and
scraping to repairing plumbing, to completely re- roofing
houses.
In
the evenings, the individual project teams joined
together for recreation and worship before falling
into an exhausted sleep.
Rachel Atnip, Chad Griffin, Morgan Swink, Jera
Hancock, Alex Hensley, and Elizabeth Hensley were
our youth members and they did a wonderful job
representing our church.
Also contributing to the success of the the trip
were all those who donated or loaned tools to the
cause including Bonita and Charles Garrett, David
and Jan Pezant, and many other anonymous donors
along with the church itself, which allowed the use
of the church bus. Great job!
