A note from AÂ Eli As with any trip, there have been tons of laughs and crazy conversations. This one stems from questions about what exactly is Woodstock. Although there may surely be an official answer, this is the best we can come up with.
A message from a next step staff Hello, my name is Kealey Wik and I had the privilege of being one of the crew leaders of students from Seneca Creek Community Church.

Today was the last day of work for the Clendenin crew. We finished our project off by planting beautiful plants, but not without much hard work from all of our crew shoveling through rock and clay and shoveling gravel onto the driveway. All the work was definitely worth to see the end product. What wasâŚ

Normally Wednesday is one of the hardest days because it is the middle of the week and we are all tired and sick of each other.

Today we were able to start as soon as we arrived. We painted a second coat on the room we already painted and was able to paint the first half of the second room. To paint the room we didnât want to many people in the room so Jacob, the owner, asked for four students to help insulate the pipes under the house. Briana, Irene, David and DJ wentâŚ

It feels so good to be back in Clendenin! Not only was the weather perfect, everything about the trip here was smooth sailing! We even made it in near record time, arriving around 2:30pm!
Thereâs something fun about being in a place we are beginning to know well and feel so comfortable. This yearâs staff team has a couple of familiar faces and a host of brand new smiles that are alreadyâŚ

If youâve been tracking with us, you know that this is our THIRD YEAR joining the wonderful people of Clendenin, WV as they continue to recover from the devastating flood of 2016. We are looking forward to reconnecting with the people and places we have grown to love in this beautiful part of the country.âŚ

Ignition Mission-The Last Day
Ignition Mission-The Last Day
We had another very successful day today at the little league site! We completed the sidewalk, and overall cemented sixty feet of concrete and handled over 14,000 pounds of gravel and sand. We are so proud of all the hard work that crew one showed, and we consider this week a huge accomplishment.
Although it was a blazing hot week, we still made it through and it was an amazing experience.

The Last Day of Ignition Mission
Hi Lia here. To day at Ms. Jorettaâs house we started to clean and rinse more toys that we found in the garage. Around lunch time we went to see the Roxy (Me and Harrison were on the trip last year and worked at the Roxy). After lunch we cleaned out the freezer which was unplugged and had rotting meat and ice cream since 2016.
The smell was Horrible but i could stand the sight of it Heather onâŚ

Ice cream, stretches and âŚwell, itâs a little hot We're working on a new post or two for today. In the meantime here are some fun pix.
Today, Tuesday, July 3rd Crew #1 worked on the Little League field and made a sidewalk. Sand and rocks were used to make the first layer of the sidewalk. The team tamped it down to a specific level. Then the team filled up buckets of sand and rocks to make the concrete, that was really heavy. Some people from the team brought the concrete mixer to make the actual concrete, and it was done being mixed in about 2 hours. The cement was poured on the ground, and our teamâs staff member Ham stepped in the cement with boots on and flattened out the cement to make the side walk firm and straight. Later, crew #4 showed up because they had difficulties with their project, and helped us with finishing making the sidewalk. At the end of the day, we got a lot accomplished!
Today our team was blessed with help from another team. When crew #4 showed up they really helped get the job done. Our team made new friends as well and we were so thankful for their help. The day before as well when our team had to dug out sand and rocks from the trucks. Crew #2 came over and stopped what they were doing to help us dig out all sand and rocks.
 Clendenin Little League Today, Tuesday, July 3rd Crew #1 worked on the Little League field and made a sidewalk. Sand and rocks were used to make the first layer of the sidewalk.
When we first arrived at Ms. Jorettaâs we didnât know what to do because she wasnât there. We started raking the rocks and gravel in the yard, because she wanted to start growing grass but couldnât because of the gravel. Then Ms. Joretta arrived and gave us so more instruction on what to do. A lot of what we are doing is emptying her garage where there are sentimental items. Ms. Jorettaâs son Adam was there and was very helpful and told us what to save and what to throw away. In front of the garage was a ton of wood and cardboard boxes. We started to throw away the cardboard boxes but put the wood in a different place to be saved and used for later. We got all of the wood and cardboard boxes moved and most of the rocks and gravel from the dirt and started on the the garage. we are getting little by little done with the help from the team. It was a hot and tiring day and ready to go to sleep.

Yep â itâs true! The team arrived all in one peace and mostly sane after a relatively smooth 6 hour trek on a beautiful day through fantastic landscapes. Honestly, the mountains of western Maryland, dotted with farms and streams in the bright summer sun are absolutely breathtaking.
We stopped for lunch in Morgantown with perfect timing⌠by which I mean that an enormous high school group arrived right after us. Turns out, itâs a church high school youth group with 55 students and leaders from Long Island, NY. Guess where they were goingâŚyep â Clendenin, WV! What are odds?!
The set up is pretty awesome and since we were the first crew to make it onsite we had the pick of the spaces (near the outlets â DUH!). We were set up and settled in by 4 and had loads of time to hang out with each other and the leadership team here.
 We have been given a fantastic team of NextStep Ministries staff and we canât wait to get to know our team leaders a bit better. There are 9 work crews this week and weâve been assigned two pretty awesome gigs.
Part of our team will head over to the Clendenin Little League field to install a sidewalk. Right now the fields are still in process, but once they are up and running the community will need them to be open to people of differing abilities. The rest of our group will be heading over to the home of a community member. Weâll have a number of jobs there and weâll update details as they come! One small spoiler â we have one crew leader originally born in Kenya named Irene! Sound familiar to anyone? Weâll definitely be posting pics with her soon!
We wrapped the evening with a great worship and teaching session. The place is packed and the energy is incredible! Even in our extremely tired state, we can tell how God is already working in and through this incredible environment.
The theme this week is Reckless Love and tonight we focused on the four primary principles at the heart how NextStep Ministries desires to impact the communities in which they serve: Humble Servant, Fervent Listener, Discontent Ambassador and Zealous Developer.
We are just a few moments away from lights-out and thankfully several students have picked up on the pro-tip of âyou donât have to stay up until lights outâ⌠#goingtobedearlyrocks
Thanks for praying for our team and checking in and be sure to stay tuned for more details as they come!

Just when you think you have it all figured out, God reveals that He may have different plans. If nothing else, getting ready for this yearâs Ignition Mission trip has been a very real lesson for me personally in one of the tried-and-true Middle School rules â BE F.A.T. (flexible, available & teachable). So many of the plans I took for granted â the things I took as âgivenâ â were not part ofâŚ
