Action 2009 Spring and Summer Trips: Apply Today!

You can now apply online for this year’s Action spring and summer trips to Allendale and Indianapolis. This past year we have seen a flurry of city-building and missionary activity in both Allendale and Indianapolis and there is plenty of work that we need Action to do this summer.

Come join us as we plan to fix plumbing and repair foundations, paint houses and rooms, renovate newly acquired properties, teach children how to have fun, get along and follow the Lord, host neighborhood barbecues, and share the Good News with all who are longing to hear it.

In 2008, it took 92 students, 42 adults, and 22 volunteer staff to send spring teams to both Allendale and Indianapolis and 4 summer teams to Allendale and 2 to Indianapolis. The more volunteers we have this summer, the more we can do to move the Lord’s work forward in both Allendale and Indianapolis.

The project dates may still change, but these are our current planned dates. We will firm up dates and locations as soon as possible. Thank you for your patience.
