WMU mission volunteers
reach out to Pittsburgh
Members of Zion Hills Full Gospel Church join hands to pray with volunteers from Texas, Georgia and North Carolina during FamilyFEST, a volunteer missions effort in Pittsburg, Pa., coordinated by Woman's Missionary Union. WMU volunteers from 12 states served at 15 ministry sites in Pittsburgh this summer during MissionsFEST and FamilyFEST events. About 165 volunteers, including 27 families, participated in backyard Bible clubs, surveys, block parties, light construction, landscaping, repairs, prayerwalking and cooking at a children's camp. Some volunteers, such as 18-year-old Morgan Worsham of Conroe (left) planted and picked vegetables on an eight-acre farm for the Pittsburgh Food Bank. She worked with her grandmother, Jeanette Cliett of Pasadena. MissionsFEST and FamilyFEST in Pittsburgh were a partnership between national WMU, Pennsylvania/South Jersey WMU, Appalachian Regional Ministry and the Baptist Association of Southwestern Pennsylvania.
