Mission Trip 2010

Our youth took part in our annual mission trip July 11-17. We traveled to Seymour, TN (right outside of Gatlinburg) and helped with home repairs and landscaping. We worked for Mr. Eddy, who takes care of his wife, who has had three strokes and is unresponsive, and his father, who suffers from dementia. Mr Eddy's mother died three weeks before we arrived.
Below is a slide show that shows some of the things that we did throughout the week. Our kids completed two weeks of work in just under four days. We also had quality time hanging out in the afternoons and evenings, and on our free day Friday. Thank you to all who prayed for us during the trip and those who supported us by tithing to BGCC.

Most of all, thank you to a wonderful group of kids who worked hard, didn't complain, and came together as a family. A special thanks also goes out to the sponsors who sacrificed vacation time, and parts of their summer to come, work, and support these youth. Enjoy the slideshow and be proud of our kids:
