Two Mid-America youth groups participated in this year's Disciple Summer Mission held the last week of June in Kansas City.

Groups from First Christian Church of Fulton and First Christian Church of Edwardsville (IL) joined other DOC youth from around the US for a week of serving and learning. Staying at Rockhurst University and worshipping at Crossroads Christian Church, the ninety-six person mission group spread out across the city serving with local organizations to serve food to those in need, understand homelessness, pack for a regional food bank, do yard work, and clean. There was also time spent learning the history of segregation in Kansas City. Evenings included worship, a Royals game, good BBQ, indoor putt-putt and more. The entire group filled a small cinema for a viewing of the new Pixar movie Elemental. Pictured are the Fulton and Edwardsville groups when they were on the same project one hot afternoon.
