McDowell County, WV

Picture
While in middle school I had the opportunity to serve the community with a mission trip to McDowell County, WV.  The trip started off very dramatically with torrential rainfall, which led to massive flooding in the area.  We had originally intended to serve those that were less fortunate by helping to repaint their homes and build/rebuild some porches.  With the massive amount of rain that we had received on our trip down we found ourselves with flood cleanup and restoration work as well.  This trip helped shape my life in very drastic ways, this was the first time in my life that I had committed my life to Christ, as well as also getting my first chance to help those that are less fortunate than I am.
