Local Short Term Missions Project opportunity – Do you like to paint? True Life 
Ministries of Lebanon (formerly known as YFC Lebanon) has a new opportunity to 
serve in the name of our Lord. True Life has a house in Lebanon at 10th and 
Lehman St., which has two apartments (they are on the second floor) that need to 
be painted. Rooms are prepped and ready for a fresh coat of paint. True Life plans
to use the rental income generated from these apartments to help subsidize their
ministry. We have set aside two upcoming weekends to maximize flexibility in
everyone’s schedules.
Dates for the project are Friday, Saturday April 12 & 13 and Friday, Saturday
April 19 & 20. Time for each day would be 9 am - 1pm.
Sign- up sheets for all 4 days are on the front and rear lobby bulletin boards.
