Back to School Youth Bash
By Chris Smith, Mission Strategist
Praise God for the GCA back-to-school youth bash on Aug.16th in Morro Bay! Many students made decisions and responded to the challenge to be on a nine-month mission trip in their schools and communities during the upcoming school year.
Twelve churches (11 GCA and Magnolia from Riverside) and over 150 people attended. Our churches traveled from Salinas, King City, Lompoc, Santa Maria, Nipomo, Paso Robles, San Luis Obispo, Los Osos, Morro Bay, and Riverside.
