A large, very hospitable church in Alexandria, Virginia supplies the sleeping rooms and the meeting room – rooms 301, 302 and 303, for an Encounter team to stage out of to do ministry in Washington.  The church’s large kitchen and ample eating area allows for those on a team to enjoy the company of each other while doing meal preparations and while eating together.  Coming from Beckley, West Virginia, Hibbing, Minnesota and Clemson, South Carolina a total of five youngsters – ages 10 to 15, five college students – ages 19 to 21 and five adults were blessed for five nights being able to call this church home.
