Asheville Youth Mission at Grace Covenant

In 2011, AYM hosted over 1,300 youth and college students doing mission work in Asheville.   Youth who come to AYM do all kinds of work from sweating it out in the fields to playing and laughing with children. We logged in over 7,600 hours of service at many of the same agencies Grace Covenant faithfully supports.  

This summer, Grace Covenant offered its lawn to AYM for 2 events for the children of Project MARCH (a program of Children First/CIS).  Project MARCH is an After School Club and Summer Camp for children living in the communities of Pisgah View, Deaver View, and Woodridge.  The participants in AYM-led games, music, energizers, water activities, and spent lots of time playing and laughing with the kids.  Recreation is re-creation for all who are involved.  It is restorative.  We watched children come with frowns and leave with big smiles.  

Thanks to Grace Covenant for your support of AYM and the events that we lead for the community in need.
