Mission Update: “A Faith-Shaping Experience They Will Never Forget!”

"A Faith-Shaping Experience They Will Never Forget!"

 

Fill a church bus with some high-energy kids, toss in a few adult chaperons, send them on a weekend mission trip, and amazing things are bound to happen!  Central Church of Christ in Benton, Kentucky recently delivered a small army of hard-working kids to Wayside Christian Mission and, by then end of the weekend, our backlog of chores and projects had been shortened considerably!  These kids were amazing!  Brian Brophy, one of the adult leaders, explained, "This is our second trip to Wayside!  We came in 2009 and loved it so much, we wanted to come back!  We have taken mission trips, done camps, been to youth rallies, and many other events, yet our teens consistently say that nothing has inspired them like Wayside!  The work is meaningful and challenging, but in a controlled and well-organized environment.  The stories, testimonies, life struggles, and victories of the staff and residents have impacted our kids like nothing else!  This is a faith-shaping experience they will never forget!"
