LIVERMORE FALLS — A group of adults and youths will go on a mission trip to Alabama from June 27 to July 6 to build a small house for a mother and her two children who lost theirs to a tornado this spring.

Fifteen to 20 members of the Emmanuel Assembly of God Church, including at least five youths from the church’s Riptide Youth Ministries, will travel to the town of Phil Campbell, youth leader Blaine Rackliff said.

They plan to build a house for a 30-year-old woman whose husband died two days before the tornado hit, he said.

The woman and her two children, one in elementary school and the other in junior high, took shelter in their car during the storm, Rackliff said.

The car was lifted off the ground and when it came back down, it slammed and injured the woman’s back, he said.

She is recovering, he said.

The church mission group is trying to raise money for the trip, including supplies to build the house, Rackliff said.

If anyone wants to donate, they can write a check out to the Emmanuel Assembly of God and send it to the church at Box 275, Livermore Falls, ME 04254.

To learn more about the trip or to donate in another way, call Rackliff at 491-9965.
