Who will we serve in Seattle?

We will have a chance to connect with people who don’t see a need for the Gospel in their lives. The area is one of the most well educated in the country, and also one of the wealthiest. People seem to find their hope in their hobbies, their education, or their job. We will also get the chance to work with people living in homelessness. These people could be in this situation for any number of reasons, including addiction or mental illness. We will be able to be the hands and feet of Jesus.

What will we do?

– work to set up and work fireworks stands
– chances for Gospel conversations/prayer/evangelism
– homeless ministry
– church with Still Valley Church on Sunday and Wednesday
– work projects in various locations
– our free day will be spent in Seattle. We will spend time at Pike Place Market, take the Ferry across the sound to Bainbridge Island, and just enjoy being in the big city!
