Almost all of the youth and the 3 chaperones have now been invited into our members’ homes. We have only 4 high school boys and 1 handicapped high school girl left to accommodate. Please prayerfully consider opening your home to provide them with a room for Friday and Saturday nights, and breakfast on Saturday and Sunday mornings.
