High School Youth Group Travels on Mission Trip

By Janis Greenbaum; posted on July 2nd, 2008

St. Martin’s High School Youth Group is getting ready to hit the road for a week of hard work and good will.

Youth Group leaders Tim and Emily Ware are traveling with seven students from St. Louis, Missouri to St. Louis, Michigan to be part of a challenge work camp July 12 - 19.

St. Louis, Michigan is an impoverished area in the middle of that state. Many residents don’t have the money or resources to do much-needed home improvements. The work campers will be repairing roofs, building handicap ramps and taking on other projects to help the people living in the area.

The group will be staying at Grace Episcopal Church in Holland, Michigan, where they’ll enjoy a BBQ with the local youth group July 12 and attend church services July 13.

Students taking part in St. Martin’s Mission Trip are: Kyle Bailey, Karen DeRigne, Breanne Fencl, Gina Garbo, Nick Jentsch, Courtney Pott and Ben Warren.

Please keep the group in your prayers!
