Mission Work in Pikeville Completed!

     What a great time of work and witness the two groups experienced in Pikeville, Kentucky, June 16-23, 2013!  12 youth and 5 leaders from the Forks Church met up in Kentucky with a group of 23 from Redeemer Church in Lynchberg, Virginia. 

    Dividing into 5 work teams for the week, they were able to complete all the tasks assigned! They painted several large common areas in one of the dorm buildings, replaced a large tin roof on Mr. and Mrs. Brown's house, completely built a new pitched roof over Ms. Linda's flat-roofed trailer and painted the front and side of her trailer. A small team worked Friday afternoon and early Saturday morning to build two sets of outside steps for Ms. Mural. 

   Even with all their work, there was time in the evenings to play Four Square, Basketball, spend time in the gym, go for ice cream, go swimming, see the new Superman movie, and camp overnight in tents Saturday night before heading home on Sunday, June 23!

   The parents of each of these kids should be very proud of their accomplishments! All the leaders are!

   Enjoy the pictures to the right.  There are some more to be added. They will also be posted on Facebook shortly.
