On the Road to Atascadero

One of the closer GO! Team trips that we make is to the Atascadero Christian Home, located a few hours north of us on the central California coast. This missions opportunity is unique from all others that we make because the people group is that of senior citizens- those who have chosen (or need) to reside in an assisted living situation. The facility contains both assisted living units and a hospital facility.

Our team will spend four days (Oct. 2-6) serving the needs of ACH. There are projects (gardening, painting, building, repair, etc.) to be done throughout the grounds, and opportunities to spend time with the residents. That's important, since several of them have few or no visitors. The connections we make give us the chance to share with many the love and need of Jesus (residents and workers there don't necessarily know Him) in their lives. And that's so important, since many of these folks are close to meeting Jesus anyway.

Please keep this team in prayer as they gather themselves and prepare to go. We will post their picture soon. Pray that they will be bold in their witness and find those chances to both demonstrate and speak the truth of the Gospel. This is a "cross-cultural" experience of a different kind, but as much a challenge and a joy as anywhere else in this world.
