Iowa Youth Shares Experiences Pre-ICYF

Joseph Decious of Marion Christian Church had this to say about the trip on the way to ICYF:

"My group has had a great experience on our mission trip at a community center in east LA. We helped out with their summer daycare program, we helped them put on a show for their parents. We helped clean up their garden and plant more plants. We did some painting, help organize their thrift shop, and prepared them for today's food distribution which helps over 2000 families per year. We also set up a few new computers in their lab. They give free English lessons to help the Hispanic community. I am looking forward to the conference in the coming days."
