For Some 138 Teenagers, This Summer Means Helping The Neediest Communities in Jackson.
138 students from across the nation will be in Jackson the week of June 20-27 working on a variety of assignments that range from painting houses to putting new roofs on homes. On average, participating students pay $260 to take part in the week. This summer, 98 World Changers projects will take place in more than 85 cities from Alaska to Florida, New York to California, and many places in between. World Changers is in its 19th summer of operation and is an initiative of the North American Mission Board (Southern Baptist Convention).
Following an eight-session “how-to” study that participants complete prior to coming, students serving Jackson will hit the ground running. The major work begins Monday of the project. The students will be staying at First Baptist Church for the week. This initiative is in partnership with local city agencies, Baptist Associations and local businesses.
