As Frederic area youth learned in 2005, the most difficult - and yet most rewarding - place in the world to do a mission project is at home right here in Frederic. With that awareness, youth from Frederic area churches are joining together for the Home Field Advantage project. HFA is a youth mission project serving Frederic and the surrounding area beginning July 27.

The goal is to share the love of God in practical ways with people right here in their own community. Special attention will be given to the needs of the elderly, disabled or otherwise disadvantaged.

During the Home Field Advantage week, youth will be involved in a variety of service projects including yard and house work, light construction, painting, window washing, planting, firewood preparation, garbage removal, etc.

The Block Party

The week will conclude on August 3 with a community block party to which everyone from the area is invited. There will be free food, games, and entertainment. (More)

Who's Involved

Many of Frederic's churches are in on the project. Also involved are many area businesses and individuals.

Last Year, er, Time…

Welcome to the first post of the official Home Field Advantage blog. In addition to taking the whole project up a notch tech-savvy-coolness wise, we want to let the parents of the youth and those that are watching the project know just what’s going on during the week. We plan to post updates and pictures every day to give an idea of the work that is being done and some other fun things as well.

If you don’t know what Home Field Advantage is, our slogan sums it up well: “Frederic area youth making a difference, starting at home”. We believe one of the hardest mission fields in the world right at home in our own backyard. Throughout the week we’ll be doing many services projects around the Frederic area, helping out with Frederic EFC’s VBS, and throwing a block party for the whole community on Sunday, August 3.

Talk to anyone who was around for the first time we did HFA back in 2005 and you’re bound to hear a reference to what we did “last year.” We’ve tried to convince Dan it was actually three years ago but it doesn’t seem to help. Anyway, here are a couple pictures from last time to get this blog started. It’s interesting how some of those involved have really changed over the years and how others haven’t…
