A youth mission team from Grand Rapids Michigan is spending their spring break in the local area helping those still rebuilding from the 2021 tornado.
Praying Pelicans Ministries partnered with relief groups from the Dawson area to bring a group of high school students from the Tri-Unity Christian School to serve as a mission team during their spring break. The trip from Grand Rapids took the group 8 hours to arrive in Princeton. Andrew Barnes, a Bible Teacher in the school, accompanied the students and explained that a group from the school takes a mission trip each year.
