Campus ministry takes mission trip to Northeast U.S. & Canada

Campus minister Evan Burkett is leading a team of 10 university students this week on a 12-day mission trip to Montreal, Quebec, and Torrington, CT, with a quick visit to New York City.

The group plans to help the Montreal congregation—where our missionary Roger Saumur serves—promote and prepare for their summer evangelism effort to families. They will also be in Canada to worship with and encourage the Saumurs.  Afterwards, the group will travel to Torrington, CT, to work with our missionaries Steve and Maryann Bastin. A quick visit to New York City will follow.

"My hope is that our students will see that there are Kingdom opportunities internationally as well as domestically and that mission work should happen wherever they are. Being sent by God may mean staying close to home," said Burkett. 

Students going on the mission trip include Amber Grubb, Kirby Tomberlin, Traci King, Tiffany King, Tracey Dye, Amanda Nix, Patrick Rayner, Corey Pless, Brett Russell, and Brett Worsham. They plan to return home on May 10.
