Serve this summer with WEC USA
How would you like to spend a week this summer serving alongside career missionaries John and Marie Murtha at the Worldwide Evangelization for Christ (WEC) USA headquarters in Fort Washington, PA?
Come to an interest meeting taking place Sunday, May 25 at 11:15am in Auburn Hall, where John and Marie will share more about the July 9-15 trip and answer questions.
This outreach trip is designed to support the WEC USA sending base through practical help, especially in building repairs, maintenance, and groundskeeping. The historic Camp Hill castle offers a place of rest and training for missionaries, and keeping it in good condition directly supports their work. While skilled tradespeople are especially needed, anyone with a willing heart is welcome (including teens accompanied by a parent); there will be projects suited to all skill levels.
Beyond the hands-on service, the trip will include daily devotions and teaching led by John and Marie, as well as the chance to hear from other missionaries staying at the WEC home base. There will also be a free day for rest or sightseeing in the beautiful, historic area near Philadelphia.
The trip fee is $100 per person which includes lodging and meals (except Sunday, our day off, when meals will be at participant’s own expense). Participants are also responsible for personal travel plans and related expenses. The trip is approximately 8 hours of travel each way (this time includes at least two stops) and costs about $150 in gas and tolls for the round trip. Carpooling is recommended. Plan to arrive between noon and 4:00pm on Wednesday, July 9, departing back to Ohio on Tuesday, July 15 by 11:00am.
WEC was founded in 1913 in London by C.T. Studd, a well-known athlete from a prominent and wealthy family. Today, WEC has sending bases around the world, including the American headquarters at the historic Camp Hill in Fort Washington, PA. Its mission is to reach Unreached People Groups (UPGs), those who have never heard the name of Jesus or the Gospel. WEC uses a variety of creative strategies to bring the Good News, even in nations that are considered “closed” to Christianity. To learn more, visit wec-usa.org.
