Trek











Every once in a while you get a great opportunity to serve. An opportunity comes your way that reminds you of why God created you.

16 people....five vehicles...and a five hundred mile road trip. Oakville, Iowa.

Oakville is a small community of less than five hundred people. It is a community of people who have lived and worked together until three weeks ago.

The warnings had been issued, but they had heard them before. The Mississippi and Iowa Rivers had been friendly neighbors for years and yet they were about to alter their course and affect Oakville forever.

Opportunity.

"Every day is an opportunity to make a new happy ending."

We are here in Iowa to help bring a new ending to people whose lives have been devastated by floods.
