Midwest Mission Distribution Center
Pawnee, IL
The Central Bay District Youth have returned after our AWESOME trip to MMDC in Pawnee, Illinois. We studied the book of Galatians, repaired bicycles, put together baby layette kits and then prayed for the momma and baby who would receive those kits, sorted medical equipment, prepped old bleacher wood and then used that wood to build school desks, did grounds clean-up work all over campus, unloaded trucks, sorted through endless donations from Annual Conferences, made over 400 Personal Dignity Kits and prayed for the recipients of those kits, and checked and fixed cleaning buckets and prayed for those who would need them. OH! And we had a blast at the Water Park in Springfield and played tons of fun games! We are so grateful to live in a district that supports it’s youth in this way! Thank you!!!
In fact we had such a wonderful experience, and really connected as a group, we are already starting to plan mission events for the next school year. So keep watching to get details. If you’d like to be part of our Leadership Team…contact Jennifer Lane.
