Family Reunion/Mission Experience

What does it take to make a family reunion memorable? If you are part of the Vasey Family from Pennsylvania it takes more than good food (though their was plenty of that). It takes more than a good turn out,( but 17 people showed up.) It takes more than fun, fellowship, and lots of room though there was plenty of that also.

It takes someone with vision to say, "Why don't we combine our family reunion with a mission trip?" Tim Vasey started the annual trip to ETS three years ago and it has been growing every year.

This year the group tackled several projects. They painted the hallway and stairwell, patched a structural crack in our basement, landscaped our flower beds, and boxed clothing.

They were treated to a missionary speaker from Zambia who challenged them with, "How bout having your family reunion in Zambia next year?"

Uh oh....looks like we might have lost our work force to Zambia next year! Thank you Vasey Family for your excitement, enthusiasm and labor. We appreciate it so much.
