Wishing safe travels to the adults and students who will be traveling from Webster to El Salvador on Wednesday for a service trip with Young Life.
Forty-one high school students and adults — from Young Life, Browncroft Community Church and Grace Road Church — will be participating in the nine-day trip, which will take them to a rural part of the country called Baja Lempa in the village of Taura.
Dustin Bailey, one of the trip’s organizers, wrote,
The village has about 50 families and Young Life has helped bring clean water, medications, vitamins, create food supplies, built houses, built bathrooms, and generally brought much hope to this region. This year, we hope to build a home for a family that currently lives in a home that pales in comparison to many of the sheds in our backyards. We will also help with the greenhouse in their community that provides nutrition to the children and a way to make money through sales to a local farmer’s market. We will spend much time with the children of the village to play and share joy together.
The 26 high school students and 15 adults going on the trip will be challenged to grow in their faith, learn how to serve others, and maybe have a greater appreciation to the many blessings we have in Webster.
This is the 16th year in which Young Life has made this trip. The photos (provided by Dustin) are from the group’s packing day last Saturday morning, and from a previous mission trip.
