Twenty young adults representing 18 Episcopal Church dioceses are serving as missionaries in the Young Adult Service Corps (YASC) for the 2016-2017 term in locales throughout the Anglican Communion. Among them is Adrienne Davis from St. David's, Chesterfield. Adrienne will be serving with Helpers for Domestic Helpers (HDH) at St. John's Cathedral in the Diocese of Hong Kong Island.

"HDH does lovely work in advocacy for the population of foreign domestic workers in Hong Kong. In large part these women migrated from the Philippines and Indonesia to work in peoples houses doing things like cleaning, childcare, and elder care," said Adrienne in a recent blog post. "For numerous reasons these women are often abused by their employers, when this happens we provide a variety of services including but not limited to education of legal rights, support on criminal and civil court cases, and liaising with relevant government agencies."

YASC is a ministry of the Episcopal Church for young adults, ages 21 - 30, who are interested in exploring their faith in new ways by living and serving in communities around the Anglican Communion.

Please keep Adrienne, her mission and her family in your prayers. You can follow her experiences on her blog here.
