Summer Youth Mission Trip
Towel Ministry: June 25-30 2024
Saluda, NC
For Rising 9th-12 graders
Towel Ministry is a longstanding youth-oriented ministry that specializes in housing repair and refurbishment for the elderly, physically challenged, and economically disadvantaged. Teams of youth and qualified adults spread the Good News of the Gospel by participating in work projects such as building handicap access ramps, painting, roofing, weatherproofing, and other needed housing repairs. The Ministry is named after the scripture in John 13, where Jesus takes a towel, wraps it around his waist, and washes the feet of his disciples, and focuses on serving those in need.
We will be partnering with the Towel Ministry sponsored by Church of the Transfiguration in Saluda, NC. The cost is $400 per camper, and that includes lodging, meals, and recreational activities for the week.
