“When I first found out about work tour I really did not want to go. I would miss home way too much and I did not think it would be fun going over spring break. I had a lot of people pressuring me to go, so I thought I would take the chance and bring my best friend along with me. When it was the day to leave I was very nervous. I thought the only people I would talk to the whole trip would be my two friends who came along with, but little did I know from that moment on my life would change forever.”

What is Work Tour?
Twice a year 20 or more of our Youth and their adult leaders climb on a bus and head off to do service in communities that need a hand.  There is a lot of construction, painting, and fixing that goes on.  But more importantly there are a lot of friends being made, love being shared, compassion being learned, and faith being built.  Many of our youth describe their work tours as “life changing experiences.”
