RGPC PDA Mission Trip
Saturday, October 21, 2006
  Mount Up!

Team Michigan finished packing up this morning and piled into cars for the long trip down to Orange Grove Mississippi. They will be spending the night somewhere on route and finishing the journey on Sunday. Family and friends all turned out to see them off as dawn broke. So with a final prayer they're off on another adventure!
Some are old timers- having been on all three disaster missions so far, and some are new to the experience, but all are sure to have a wonderful time. And may God Bless!
The photo album to the right (the one with the little camera on it) has some photos taken last night and this morning, and more are sure to follow, so be sure to check back!
