HARTFORD — The construction crew working on the inside of Shiloh Baptist Church’s new sanctuary is not your typical work crew.

The average age is 70. There’s no charge for their labor. And they’ll live on site in campers and motor homes until they’re work is finished.

“We travel to wherever the Lord leads us,” said Pete McKnight, president of the Alabama chapter of Campers on Mission.

Nearly 40 recreational vehicles fill the church’s grassy parking area on Shiloh Road in Hartford. Volunteers with Campers on Mission are in their second week of work at Shiloh, and they’ll stay through next week before moving on to their next project in Quincy, Fla. The Shiloh sanctuary won’t be completed when they leave, but they will leave behind three weeks of volunteerism and lifetime friends.
