A group of 32 staff members from the Gospel for Asia campus helped to clean up a stretch of FM 2965 Feb. 11 as part of the Texas Department of Transportation’s Adopt-a-Highway program.
Gospel for Asia, a missions organization based in Wills Point, recently adopted a two-mile stretch of Farm-to-Market 2965 and spent the morning of Feb. 11 picking up trash. Around 32 staff members showed up for its first Adopt-a-Highway cleanup and proudly wore the bright-orange reflector vests provided for by Texas Department of Transportation.
Daniel Punnose, vice president of GFA, helped with Saturday’s highway cleanup and initiated adopting part of FM 2965.
“Although we normally focus on Asia, we wanted to contribute to the local community and show people practically that we genuinely care about Wills Point,” Punnose said. “We saw it as an opportunity to demonstrate Christ’s love to the people we love here.”
Jonathan Loghry, 40, who leads GFA’s Information Technology department, helped with the Adopt-a-Highway cleanup.
“It was a great time with family and friends, and a welcome chance to give back to the community,” Loghry said. “We found all kinds of interesting trash.”
