Dawson Springs, Ky., will be the location of the FaithX adult (age 18-plus) service trip in partnership with Brethren Disaster Ministries on July 28-Aug. 3, 2024.

Dawson Springs experienced a devastating outbreak of tornados in December 2021, which leveled an estimated 75 percent of the town. FaithX participants will partner with Brethren Disaster Ministries to continue rebuilding homes in this community.
