Mission Update - We Are Family!

Visiting Kids Say, "We Are Family!"

What could be better than hanging around the pool with the gang on a lazy summer afternoon?  How about painting?  Cleaning?  Hauling?  Okay, so grunge work may not be everyone's idea of a good time, but for years, the youth from Church of the Cross in Lexington, Ohio have traveled to Wayside Christian Mission in Louisville to for a week of hard, sweaty labor and this year was no exception!  Our thrift store in J-Town was given a fresh new look thanks to the hard-working kids and their equally hard-working adult leaders!  Here is what these Christian kids had to say about their week of work at Wayside:

 

"It was a life-changing experience that really showed us different lifestyles and points of view!"--Megann

 

"Any person we met thanked us and treated us with respect!"--Kelsey

 

"No one treated us like outsiders!  We were family!"--Cassidy

 

Our J-Town thrift store has plenty of bargains for the savvy shopper and now, thanks to these amazing Christian kids, the store now sports a fresh new look!  Thanks, kids, for sharing your summer with us!
