Mission Trip # 1 is a great success




The first mission trip came off with great success and no major injuries.

Sherwood Oaks Christian Church - formally of Bloomington, IN, brought 7 adults and 27 students to our rescue. Only a few bites from fire ants and one hurt foot were the major injuries.

So what all got done? Here is a basic look at there week.

1) Paint hallways and classrooms on the north side.
2) Clean out office areas.
3) Remove all furniture and stuff into fellowship hall area.
4) Clean facility.
5) Remove and clean up landscape.
6) Levelize stage and repair wall.
7) Check the baptistry.
8) Clean bathrooms & Kitchen.
9) Unhook all pews.
10) Replace light bulbs.
11) Basic demographic work to our community.


They got all of this done and more. The students also had some fun too. The went to Madera Beach and Clearwater Beach. They attended Relevant Church in downtown Ybor City. Oh, and they finished the week with a trip to Busch Gardens.

All in all - we owe these students a huge thanks. Without them, we could not be where we are today in regards to the facility and the project.

THANK YOU SOOOOOO MUCH SOCC!
