Jesse Lee Appalachia Service Project (ASP) made its 40th life-changing home-repair mission trip June 29 to July 7, 2024. Some 270 teen and adult volunteers participated, again making Jesse Lee ASP one of the largest local ASP groups in America!
ASP is a national Christian volunteer organization whose participants make an annual weeklong mission trip where they work to make local folks’ homes “warmer, safer and drier.” Since its founding in 1969, more than 425,000 volunteers from across the nation have repaired nearly 19,000 homes in central Appalachia.
This spring, volunteers attended monthly orientation meetings to prepare for the trip. In addition, new volunteers received “basic skills” training (ladders, power tools, hammers, etc.) in late April, while all volunteers put their training to use in May by building wheelchair-ramp sections, which Jesse Lee’s Spirit Builders eventually will employ in their construction ministry.
There are significant costs in taking 270-some volunteers down to Appalachia for a week. YOU CAN HELP in two ways: by purchasing “stock” at $10 each from a volunteer, or donations toward vehicle rentals. See below for links.
If you supported this year’s trip, THANK YOU!
