Carriage
Lane Presbyterian completes summer mission schedule
Members of
Carriage Lane Presbyterian Church are wrapping up a busy summer of mission
service both stateside and around the world.
From May 31
to June 13, a team of 14 senior high youth and their leaders were in Huancavalica,
Peru, a town located 13,000 feet up in the Andes Mountains of South America.
"They
reached out to hundreds of children and their families," a spokesperson
said." They led a Vacation Bible School ministry, performed soccer
evangelism, discipled and encouraged youth, and led a pastor's conference
for Peruvian pastors and elders."
From July 19-Aug.
1, a group of 21 junior high youth and their leaders traveled to the Cherokee
Nation in North Carolina where they have an ongoing ministry.
"This
summer they continued their mission of glorifying God," the spokesperson
continued. "They held Vacation Bible School, painted, reroofed a
house, sang in a nursing home and built relationships with families who
are lost spiritually and in need of saving faith."
Adults at the
church traveled to Rio Verde, Goias, Brazil, where they witnessed and
worked with "street boys," conducted Vacation Bible School for
about 100 children, and helped with construction of a home for five or
six boys and their house parents.
In addition
to group missions, two members are involved in individual missions. Beth
Gaylor is participating in street evangelism in London and Paris through
Global Challenge, and Lisa Cunningham is assisting full-time missionaries
in Bangkok, Thailand, working with street children and teaching English
to the local population.
Over the past
several years, the church also has sent four mission teams to Romania
and three teams to the Czech Republic.
"Carriage
Lane has a real burden for those in need of a saving relationship with
Christ," the spokesperson said. "Our members have a heart for
missions around the world and at home."
Carriage Lane,
on the corner of Ga. Hwy. 54 and Carriage Lane in Peachtree City, is in
the process of building a new, larger sanctuary. For more information
