The Korean Partnership of the Connecticut Conference of the UCC, together with the Kyung-Ki Presbytery of the PROK in South Korea, hosted a joint-mission project during the summer of 2003. 26 Koreans – adults, children, families, and youths – visited Connecticut from July 31 through August 12 for 2003 Family Mission Trip. Divided into 4 mission teams and hosted by Connecticut partner churches, these combined Korean and American mission groups fanned out across the state to engage in local mission work – Habitat for Humanity, soup kitchens, food banks, inner-city vacation Bible school programs, 4-H programs, presentations for Silver Lake campers, preparing meals for prison workers, etc.
