Northwoods Family Service Week
A unique opportunity to learn, serve, and fellowship
Overview
Are you looking for an opportunity for your family to serve the Lord in ministry, without physically crossing borders? Would you like to model and have your family observe others as examples of Christ-like servants? Do you desire to fellowship with others who are laboring in Kingdom service? If so pray as a family and consider applying for one of our Family Service Weeks in 2021. Your family will work together on various projects on the beautiful Northwoods, fellowship and serve with staff members, and join in with others in hearing messages from the Word of God.
