Dawson Memorial Baptist Church, Birmingham, on mission

A team of 11 from Dawson Memorial Baptist Church, Birmingham, traveled to Kharkov, Ukraine, this summer.

The trip was arranged through Lifesong for Orphans, an organization that strives to provide food, clothing, shelter, medical care, education and Christian training to orphans around the world. The group was led by Chris Hunsberger, minister of recreation at the Birmingham Baptist Association church. The team worked with the residents of two state-run orphanages. Team members also conducted a sports camp at a site Lifesong recently purchased as a retreat for the children in the orphanages it supports.
