“Due to extenuating circumstances there will not be a Youth Peace Travel Team this summer,” said Youth and Young Adult Ministry director Becky Ullom Naugle. “While it is sad not to have a team for the summer of 2017, the Youth Peace Travel Team program will continue. We look forward to having a team for the summer of 2018.
“Encourage young adults you know to participate in Ministry Summer Service,” she added. Applications for the summer of 2018 are due in January. Apply at www.brethren.org/mss .
