Fall Mission Trip sponsored by Lake View Camp

The clean up and rebuilding efforts continue in Alabama and Mississippi after spring tornadoes devastated the region and Lake View Camp has planned 3 mission trips back to this area to help out; Nov. 28-Dec. 4, Dec. 1-4, and
Dec. 7-11. Call Diana at (641) 780-3031 or email lakeview (at) lakeviewconference (dot) com for more information.

After the Alabama tornadoes in the spring of 2011, Lake View Camp led a team of high school and college students to NE Alabama in June to help with clean-up. After viewing the destruction, we rolled up our sleeves and helped clear debris, build a house, and visited with many victims, listening to stories of pain and loss. The need is still great in this area and after finding some builder-type adult volunteers to lead return groups, Lake View has decided to lead three mission groups back to the south (Alabama and Mississippi). We will be working with the same ministry group we worked with in June as they try to finish up five homes that they have started. We would love to finish these homes before the really cold weather hits. We still have families living in trailers and just getting by. Please come and help!

Trip #1:  November 28 -December 4. This trip will be led by Clarence Rempe and Dean Butler of Pella. Experienced in mission trips, they are excited to join others from the area who want to make a difference. Leaving early in the morning, this group’s destination is Flatrock, AL (a 12 hour drive). All groups will be staying at Life and Praise Church in Flatrock. Even if you want to come and cook, all levels of help are appreciated. We will be doing mainly construction and painting.

Trip #2:  December 1 – December 4. This trip is for the hearty, as they will travel through the night (Thursday) and begin working on Friday’s arrival. A perfect trip for those who only want to skip one day of work but want to lend a helping hand.  Same destination information applies to you as in trip #1.

Trip #3:  December 7 (evening) – December 10. This trip will be led by Jon Van Woerkom of Pella. This trip wants to bless the people of Cary, MS working on roofs and general home repair.

The cost is $155 per person to cover meals while down there, transportation expense, and building supplies.

As you can tell, we are looking for God’s people to do Kingdom work. Shoulder to shoulder, side by side with God’s people, we can make a difference in this world.
