On Thursday, December 8, Thursdays at 2 will feature Andy Russell, an Episcopal Church Young Adult Service Corps volunteer as he shared his experiences in the African country of Tanzania.
The video is available here and is also available closed-captioned.
Andy Russell from the Diocese of Southern Virginia has served as a Young Adult Service Corps (YASC) volunteer in the Diocese of Central Tanganyika, Tanzania. The experience, he says, has helped him to grow and expand his outlook on life.
Young Adult Service Corps, commonly known as YASC, are young adults (21-30 years old) who engage in mission and ministry in the Episcopal Church and the Anglican Communion.
Thursdays at 2 is a weekly preview of Episcopal Church innovative ministries. Every Thursday at 2 pm Eastern, a new video illustrating the work of congregations and individuals will be posted on the Episcopal Church’s Facebook page here and YouTube Channel here.
