Projects in the nation of Grenada have been added to locations for this year’s Impact Virginia!

Impact Virginia! is Virginia Baptists’ coed youth missions opportunity involving teenagers in hands-on ministry projects. Baptist youth from across the state join forces to make an impact on local communities through a variety of ministry projects, focusing primarily on home renovation and construction needs of low-income families.

Working with the Grenada Baptist Association, youth will have opportunities during two weeks this summer: July 5-13 and July 13-21.

Registration is limited to 60 people per project. For additional information, go to http://www.vbmb.org/ glocalmissions/impact.htm or contact Dean Miller at dean.miller@ vbmb.org.

Participants in each Impact Virginia! project work all day on their sites under the supervision of construction coordinators and other adult leaders. Work includes painting, roofing, cleaning, interior/exterior renovation and general carpentry. Each location may also include one or two crews that focus on projects other than construction.
