Raising Arizona

The Pointe Men of Highpointe Church will be making another construction missions trip to Arizona this summer to help build an Indian church in cooperation with missionary Charley Odell. This will be our third trip of this nature in the past four years. This time we will be working on the Cedar Creek church which is near White River, AZ. We will leave on Saturday morning, July 17 and get there late that evening. On Sunday we will attend church at Cedar Creek and make work plans for the coming week. Monday to Wednesday we will work in the church, which will be in the late stages of construction. On Thurday morning we will leave, do some siteseeing, and head back home, arriving early Friday evening.

We will be working indoors, mostly, doing finishing projects. Men of all skill levels are invited to attend. The cost of the trip is $350 per person if you ride in the church van, and $275 if you wish to furnish your own transportation. This covers all meals and lodging. Ask any of the guys who have gone on previous trips and they will tell you that we have a good time and eat really well.

We have also pledged $5000 to the project for the purchase of building materials used in the project. We will be talking about ways that we can raise this by the end of June. Kenny Hayes and Michael Weed are coordinating this trip and they will be happy to talk to you about being a part of our main men's project for 2010. Whether you can go or contribute for materials or contribute so someone else can go, every man can participate in reaching beyond our local area to build the Kingdom.
