What you will be doing with YouthWorks:
We (Youthworks)
focus on two primary areas of ministry: children
and home improvement. Our work with children consists of a hands-on
afternoon program led by your youth, known as Kids Club. Kids Club offers high-energy games, crafts, skits, songs and
interactive lessons all designed to help kids learn about Jesus. Work
projects include minor home repair and painting projects. Your group’s
willingness to refresh a worn out
exterior of a house with a new coat of paint brings real hope and an
opportunity to share the love of Christ. In Mon Valley, you may have the
opportunity to work with a brand new ministry called MissionBuild
America, Inc. MissionBuild's purpose is to move
people to love like Jesus by mobilizing the Church to build homes, build jobs,
build families, and build faith. YouthWorks and MissionBuild will partner together with communities to
create affordable housing and work alongside selected families. Projects that
you may participate in include: demolition,
gutting, plumbing, electrical, painting, flooring, roofing and building.
Adult leaders will separate youth into ministry groups, and the youth in your
group will be mixed with the youth from other groups for their week of service.
Due to multiple church groups and varying needs of the community, we cannot
confirm until all groups arrive on site exactly what service your youth will be
involved with. We ask that you come to serve with a willing and flexible
spirit.
Deidre’s notes:
If you enjoy
getting your hands dirty and working hard: this is your site. Note, however, there is NO guarantee that you
will be assigned to the build crew.
Youth will have to be flexible to work with kids and teens, too.
You must have completed 8th
grade to be considered for this site.
The cost of this
trip is $325. Some scholarship money
will be available.
Registration forms must be in and the $50
deposit must be paid by April 29th As space is limited, consideration is
given to those who are registered first.
