We are very excited about an opportunity that we have this summer to go on a short-term mission trip to the Los Angeles Dream Center. The main focus will be to bring help and hope to the Southern California inner-city. The areas of Watts, South Central, Compton, Imperial Courts, Crenshaw, and Downtown are rampant with poverty, homelessness, drug-use, promiscuity, and illness. Together with our church and student ministry, we will be partnering with the local churches in renovating homes, providing free medical services to the sick, feeding the hungry, clothing the poor, and presenting relevant teachings through dramas, music, and stories. Our prayer and purpose is to see lives transformed through the power of Jesus Christ. Our team will be departing on Sunday, August 11, 2013 and returning on Tuesday, August 19, 2013. The cost of the trip is $600 per person, totaling $1,800 for the three of us. We as a team have begun raising funds for this wonderful trip, but we would also love your support in helping us make this happen. There are a couple of ways that you can support us in this venture. This is obviously the most important thing you can do for us and for our team. Second, please prayerfully consider contributing financially. If you believe that God is calling you to help us make a difference in Los Angeles, please make your check out to Praise Covenant Church and mail it to 3501 S. (Tacoma, WA 98466). You will be sent a receipt for tax-deductible purposes. Thank you for your willingness to share in our excitement and we look forward to telling you about our experience! Sincerely,
Covenant Youth
