Mission Opportunity
Do you sponsor a child in Malawi through World Vision? Are you looking for something that will allow you to make a difference in someone's life? If you answered yes to either question, this trip might be for you! From August 12 - 27, we will be serving with Y-Malawi and World Vision in the villages of Nikoma and Chilenje on a medical and construction mission trip to host mobile medical clinics and assist in the construction of a Youth Camp. During this trip we will have the opportunity to visit with sponsor children that so many of you support.
To learn more about these opportunities (and others!) check out the missions web page. It provides information about our upcoming international mission trips and highlights some local mission opportunities. For more information, please contact Ted Grueser (416.3043).

- See "Making a Difference with Children & Youth" for ways to volunteer with the Kids Count after school program and with Howard Bishop Middle School.
- Look at "Offering Hospitality" for opportunities that include organizing a meal for the LOF youth group and putting together personal item bags for children.
- Check out "Helping Enhance Faith Mission's Facility" to find identifying opportunities where creativity is needed!
Take a look and see if there's something that moves you to get connected with Faith Mission, and if you have any questions please feel free to reach out to Ward anytime.
