ASP Mission Trip Video

 

In July 2019, youth from four churches gathered in Wise County, Virginia to do home repair and spread the good news of God’s Love as part of Appalachian Service Project.  One of the adult chaperones from Westminster Presbyterian Church in Springfield, Illinois volunteered his professional photogr aphy skills and created a 20 minute video of the week’s highlights. Bob Fox will provide the video in MP4 format on USB drives for anyone who desires it.

If you wish to request a video please contact Bob Fox at: bob@mpmis.com

The homeless men at Brighter Tomorrows are copying the videos to  USB drives. There is no fee but any donation to Brighter Tomorrows would be appreciated. Checks may be mailed to:

History

Bob Fox has been working with the homeless community in Springfield, Illinois  for over 10 years. Brighter Enterprises was incorporated as an Illinois NOT-FOR-PROFIT Corporation in July 2018.
​
In Oct 2017, the Springfield Illinois Rotary Club requested that Bob Fox build birdhouses for Rotary Park.  Bob is a long-time master wood-worker and wanted to share his experience as a way to encourage the men at Brighter Tomorrow Sober Living House to learn a skill.  That triggered the formation of Brighter Enterprises. Rotary International will benefit from a portion of the sales of items that are made and sold by Brighter Enterprises.
