Sixteen teens from our Youth Group participated in a week-long mission physically being the hands of God to help those in need. Home base was the Crossroads Retreat Center with a different challenge each day: sorting food and repacking at the food bank of New Jersey, preparing and serving lunch at a soup kitchen, fishing with a family on respite, planting crops and weeding at a community farm. Their reflections are expressed in this mission trip video. View
