Mission: Houston

Madden just returned from a  five day mission trip to Houston with our church middle school youth group. They served in inner-city Houston at a variety of locations and in a variety of capacities. The trip was organized by CSM, Center for Student Missions, and based on her feedback, seems to have been impactful. The group had the opportunity to prep and serve a meal in a soup kitchen, to assist clients with English language skills and math skills in a literacy program, serve and play with children in a community learning center, deliver lunches via Kid's Meals on Wheels, help at Houston Food Bank and engage in an urban scavenger hunt. In addition, they ate at Mediterranean, Vietnamese and Mexican restaurants in order to experience a variety of ethnic foods representative of the urban setting of downtown Houston. I hear a few Sonic slushes made it into their itinerary as well. So grateful to the group of staff and volunteers that contributed to this experience.
