Summer Service Trip 2026
July 5-10
Anawim Ministries (also known as Young People Who Care - YPWC) is now in it’s 50th year serving the community of Pennsylvania’s Clearfield County and the surrounding area. A Summer Service Trip is an amazing experience which can literally be life-changing. The week involves living in Community, gathering in prayer, working together in Service, and doing it all with a sense of simplicity and awareness of God’s living presence.
Service
Over the 50 years that Anawim Ministries has been in Frenchville, they have become a fixture in the wider community. Countless groups of young people and adults from all over the country have extended the reach of Anawim’s service into so many homes and helped change the lives of families and struggling individuals.
The work we will do there may involve cleaning a person’s yard, painting a home, repairs to a porch, building a wheelchair ramp, visiting residents of a nursing home, or just about any other work or chore.
Community
Throughout the week, our life in Community relies on each of us working for the good of one another. We cook and clean for one another. We help with chores. We play games and share meals.
The Bethany Youth Retreat Center becomes our home for the week.
The central building has a dining area, a meeting area, and a nice kitchen.
On one side of the central building is a dorm for the women and on the other side is a dorm for the men.
Both dorms have two bunk rooms.
