Mission trips are often life-changing events as they help young people learn to work with others while seeing the immense need others often have. As they work to transform the lives of others, they, too, are often transformed! In the past, trips have been taken to the Lydia Patterson Institute in El Paso, Texas, Appalachia, and more.
For more information, contact Jeff Ginn, Youth Director – 940-613-0025 or jginn@fumcwf.org. Also, be looking below for more information about past and upcoming Youth Mission Trips. . .
Twenty-eight youth & adults left June 19 for a week of service and fellowship in El Paso, TX completing ten different projects in that community including:
Maintenance & improvements at the Lydia Patterson Institute;
Food sorting & distribution at the area food bank;
Home repairs; and
A variety of improvement projects at the Boys & Girls Club.
Plans are in motion for our Summer 2011 mission trip so mark your calendar and reserve the date. Imagine waking up in the poorest zip code in the United States. This will be the experience of youth and adults from FUMC on June 19-25 when we travel to the Lydia Patterson Institute in El Paso, TX.
Lydia Patterson Institute is the only remaining United Methodist School in the US that serves a predominately Hispanic population. Most students are from neighboring Juarez, Mexico and rise at 4:00am everyday for their trek to Lydia Patterson. They come to study in a church-supported environment where faith and knowledge interact to enrich lives and develop Christian leadership.
This summer our youth will again lend their sweat and pride to the resources at the school, and they will once again witness firsthand testimony about how Lydia Patterson changes lives and opens doors. Please join them in support and prayer as they prepare for the trip in June.

Twenty three (23) youth and adults left after 10:30am Worship to go on a Mission Trip to San Marcos, Texas to do repairs on homes of people that live in that area. As you can see in the picture, they prayed as a group before they left, but we ask that you pray for them as well over this coming week. They will be returning late on Friday, June 18.
THANK YOU TO OUR YOUTH FOR MAKING A DIFFERENCE
IN OUR WORLD!

Following is a letter from Stephanie Iracheta, FUMC Youth Scholarship recipient from the Lydia Patterson Institute:
“Hey everyone:
I hope you guys are doing great! I just want you to know that I miss you a lot. I miss everyone of you. I learned about each one of you something and guess what? It is still on my heart.
I am so excited for the summer to come, and hang out with all of you again.
Stephanie “weird accent” Iracheta is going back! So take care, and let the Lord to lead everything you do, and you will see, even if you are scared, His power!
I am not gonna lie, this semester has been difficult for me, but it’s a blessing to say that I didn’t have to leave school a year because of money. My dream is growing faster. I want to go to college, and be a doctor, and I think that if the Lord gives you the power to dream big, it’s because you can do big things in life.
