🚐 Fusion Mission Road Trip ‘26 • Haysville United Methodist Church • Kansas 🚐

These youth and their adult leaders are spending part of their summer break traveling from their home in Kansas to serve in different settings and different cities every day. By the time they return home, they will have helped in feeding programs, Senior centers, and so much more— including their hard work today in Edwards Street’s thrift store, gardens, and pet food bank! Their route has stops in Yazoo City, Hattiesburg, and Biloxi, MS; New Orleans and Alexandria, LA; and across Texas. No matter the task or the setting, their aim is to share the love of Christ as they serve others.

Thank you, Haysville UMC, for your kindness, enthusiasm, and helpfulness today! “May the Lord bless you and keep you…” — Numbers 6:24-26 🫶
