Mission Trip 2014: Birmingham, AL

In 2011, the largest outbreak of tornadoes in US history swept across the south leaving devastation behind. Many people were left without homes, lost loved ones, and nowhere to turn. Next Step STORM is an organization that is bringing about restoration to the areas surrounding Birmingham, AL.

Monte and Kim Brenneman were working in Gulfport, MS aiding in the restoration after Katrina before moving to Alabama. They have a desire to see the area restored, not just physically but also emotionally and spiritually. We will get the privilege to work with the Brennemans this summer. The projects could include everything from roofing to visiting homeless shelters to bring hope and the Good News to those who desperately need it.

This is a mission trip that I am very excited about. I believe that God is going to do amazing things in and through our group. I hope that you will consider being a part of this project if you are a student (7-12 grade) or sending your teenager if you are a parent.

We have our first training meeting for any student who is interested in participating. These meetings are not optional. Even if you are on the fence about whether you will go or not, I would encourage you to at least come to this first meeting so you can see what we're doing.

Mission Trip Details
Dates: June 29-July 5
Cost: $375 (Covers everything. We will do three fundraisers to bring this cost down)
