Trip North Carolina 2026
Thank you for your prayers and for your support of our youth mission trip to North Carolina. A total of 18 high school youth and six adults are traveling to Asheville, NC to aid in the ongoing and long-term disaster relief work that began as a result of Hurricane Helene in September of 2024. To accomplish this, we’ve partnered with Praying Pelican Missions and will work directly with their ministry partners in Asheville, likely cleaning up debris and painting newly built homes. Your continued prayers for those impacted, as well as for our youth and their growth in service to others, is greatly desired and appreciated.
