IMPACT THE VALLEY
THE FIRST STEP TO IMPACTING THE NATION
What is it?
Impact the Valley (IV) is a local, ecumenical, mission event bringing a large number of teenagers and young adults together for six days of service and one day of celebration.
How it works (a brief summary):
Project coordinators will select two areas or neighborhoods for the event: one in Frederick County or Winchester, and one in Warren County or Front Royal. The areas selected will be communities where many of the residents live in poverty and extensive cleaning, repairing and painting are needed.
Youth, young adults, skilled professionals and adult supervisors will work in these communities for three days to do the physical work and meet other needs in the communities (children's activities, etc.). Youth and other workers will also use the opportunities presented by the work to share the Gospel. They will return to Fishnet Christian Center's campground each night for worship, sharing and fellowship.
The fourth day will be a time of celebration at Fishnet. Team members, people from the communities in which they were working and event sponsors will be invited to participate.
The event is scheduled for July 19 - 24 2009.

WANT TO PARITCIPATE?
We are still taking applications from groups of youth and young adults for the 2007 event. Contact us or the Warren Coalition for more information. Go to our publication menu above to view and download Brochure and Youth, Adult, and Group registration forms.
VOLUNTEERS AND SERVICES NEEDED
We are also looking for people who have building skills: carpenters, painters, electricians, plumbers, etc. Other needs are trucks to haul trash, people to help prepare food for our workers,
SPONSORS NEEDED!
Not all youth and youth groups can raise the money for a mission trip. One of our goals at IV is to minimize the cost to our missioners. We are looking for folks to donate money, food, kitchen supplies, building supplies, paint, cleaning supplies, and tools.
If you can help, please contact us or the Warren Coalition.
