The Kalamazoo Free Methodist Church is going to The Olive Branch Mission in Chicago, Illinois during the week of August 21-27 for a missions trip. The Olive Branch Mission is an inner city mission providing shelter, food, job training, and counseling to those in need. Participants in the missions/service trip will be helping prepare additional living quarters for 18-24 year old men, do needed repair and maintenance to the Mission facilities, provide programs for homeless children and children in the immediate neighborhood, and general clean-up in the area. Your financial support will help us make this Missions trip successful and glorifying to God.
