RiverTree Christian Junior High DC Mission Trip 2006

Get out you suitcases, it's almost time! We will be leaving in less than five weeks for the JH mission trip.

I just met with Laura, the JH trip leader for RiverTree and we began finalizing our service and VBS ministry plans. Laura has done a great job of dividing her team into smaller groups, each one ready for a specific type of ministry to Pastor Derlores and the people of 2nd St. James Baptist Church in Washington DC. Watch this site for more updates and information regarding the trip. I am excited to see how God will use this group to impact His Kingdom!
