What's Next

Now that the Mexico mission team has (mostly) recovered from their time spent south of the border, we're beginning to plan for the next trip. Youth mission teams from several states go to Fayetteville, WV to repair homes, many of which have been damaged by floods that often plague the area. PACE (PA Christian Endeavor) sponsors this work.

Covenant's teams prepare the meals for the young people and their leaders. The teams sleep in the gym of a high school, and our team uses the cafeteria to make and serve breakfast, pack bag lunches for everyone, and, in the evening, make dinner.

As he has done for several years, Carl will be kitchen manager for the weeks of July 9 and July 15. Wife Pat (who traveled to Mexico with Joyce and Frank in their van) will be with him for both weeks, and their grandson, Quinton and his cousin will join them for the second week. We're in the process of gathering the names of others who are interested in going for one of the weeks. We'll keep you posted as plans progress.

A footnote: one of CAMT's members said, "You don't have to suffer to serve." With that in mind, Covenant's team members stay in a nearby Days Inn. If we were all 20 years younger, maybe we could manage to sleep in a sleeping bag on a gym floor, but we've decided age does have its privileges.
