Thank you to the Urban Impact Ministries for sponsoring the trip to Kids Across America. We are so grateful for the opportunity and we have 5 youth who are on the trip.  The youth left around 11:30pm on Saturday, July 19th.  They boarded a bus where they, along with around 40 other youth from New Orleans , took a 16-hour bus ride to Missouri where they will spend 7 days at a summer camp.
