Winston Baptist Association will take a missions work trip to Pleasant Hill, Ill., July 13–20.

About 50 people — all from churches in Winston Association — will participate, said Al Hood, director of missions for the association.

The team will do Sheetrock work for First Baptist Church, Pleasant Hill, Ill., at that church’s newly relocated site. 

Team members also will take part in door-to-door outreach. Hood explained that a member of First, Pleasant Hill, has a heart for a community near his church that doesn’t have a Baptist church, and he desires to conduct some outreach to start a Bible study in that neighboring community. The Winston Association team will assist by participating in this outreach, Hood said.

The missions team will be split into three groups for the duration of the trip: a Sheetrock team, a food crew team responsible for cooking all the meals, and a ministry team, which will conduct the door-to-door outreach.

Hood, who will help lead the trip, noted the association has taken an annual missions trip for about 20 years and all ages participate.
