 Greetings in Christ! I hope and pray you had a great 4th of July weekend.
I realize it’s been several weeks since our last news/update from the mission.
The last 4 weeks have been a whirlwind, however, not allowing for much time to write.
While it’s “officially” been summer for just a few weeks, to us at MJ/TM it seems like it’s been summer forever.
The summer programming has been going great. Our interns are doing a super job representing us at VBS/Camps and leading mission teams.
I believe that we had the busiest month of June that we’ve ever had.
Here’s a capsule of what all took place:
9 Mission Trips
[1 trip to Haiti; 2 trips to Honduras; 2 trips to Eastern KY; 2 trips to Ohio; 2 trips to Memphis, TN]

7 Weeks of Christian Service Camp
[Camp Calvary/Mackville, KY – 2 weeks; Sugarloaf Christian Camp/Wallingford, KY – 2 weeks; Gasconade Christian Camp/Waynesville, MO – 2 weeks; Faith Christian Camp/Annville, KY – 1 week]
3 Weeks as Vacation Bible School Mission
[THANKS to Quincy, KY, Church of Christ, Willisburg, KY, Christian Church & Gardenside Christian Church/Lexington, KY]
Also 13,000 meals were packed for our schools in Haiti through meal-packing sessions at Camps & VBS.
[THANKS to Blountville, TN, Christian Church, River Valley Church of Christ/Fisher, IL, Gardenside Christian Church/Lexington, KY, Forks of Elkhorn Baptist Church/Midway, KY, and Camp Calvary/Mackville, KY]

We’ll be sharing more photos and stories from the summer.
Please continue to keep us in your prayers as we try and finish the summer on a strong note.
Also, THANKS for all the prayers and concern for my wife – Kelly. She had some surgery on 06.25.14. There were some complications and she was not able to go home from the hospital until 07.02.14; she’s feeling much better now and resting at home.
In Him,
Greg Herriford (Executive Director – Mission Journeys/TM)
