Youth & More Louisiana Mission Trip

Summer 2025

We had a great week of serving The Gathering Place Kolin (church) in Pineville, Louisiana. We painted the worship center auditorium and the nursery, tore down a shed, cleaned up around the church, organized things, installed new paneling in the kitchen, replaced many electrical outlets and switches, upgraded some lighting, and took out some ceiling fans and lights.
