Welcome

Welcome to the official blog for the 2014 Faith Lutheran Youth Mission Trip!

In just two short weeks, 15 youth and 5 adults will embark on a journey that will take us from Janesville, WI through Illinois, Ohio and into
West Virginia for a week of fellowship and service.

We have chosen to partner with YouthWorks, a respected leader in faith based mission trips, and a company I have used for four previous mission trips with great success.
They will lead our group through our week in Logan, WV.

During our time in Logan, we will have the opportunity to spend significant time building relationships in Logan by working at the same service site all week. Our Kids Club in Logan meets a real need in the community, as there are not many options of things for kids and teens to do during the summer months. There is also greater cultural diversity at Logan's Kids Club than one might typically expect to find in a small Appalachian town. Work projects will include minor home repair, painting, and yard work; depending on the skills of adult leaders in our group, there may also be opportunities to build wheelchair ramps 

or do other home rehab projects.

In the evenings, we will visit Chief Logan State Park, experience an evening of line dancing and bluegrass music at the Delbarton Opry House, attend a vibrant youth service at a local church, and enjoy a night fellowship at a community cookout to end the week. 

Throughout the week, we will be posting updates as we travel and work together doing
GOD'S WORK with OUR HANDS!
