Opportunities for making a difference in the lives of people who really need it through mission are quickly approaching. Disciples Volunteering, a part of Disciples Home Missions, is signing up volunteers for “Alternative Spring Break” assignments between Feb. 28 and April 3. Volunteers will have an opportunity to “get dirty for Jesus” by helping those at First Christian Church (Disciples of Christ) in Slidell, La. construct a community center that will allow the church to do more outreach in their area.

Those whose schedules permit and prefer summertime work are invited to sign up for a rebuilding project at Northwood Christian Church (Disciples of Christ) in Beaumont, Texas. The church was heavily damaged by Hurricane Rita in 2005. The people at Northwood are seeking faithful partners to spend a week helping them to rebuild sometime between June 6 and Aug. 7.
