We have had wonderful responses from the communities in which our Supporting Church Teams held events for Spring Resurrection 2004. The Lord has set us on the paths of amazing opportunities to bring Hope to these rural communities in Appalachia through some fun outreach events and to share the Gospel with these folks. What an impact this makes on these often forgotten communities; to have people they don’t even know come and spend their time just reaching out to them and their families. Our Teams were blessed with great locations, wonderful weather, faithful volunteers and God was glorified by at least 5 salvations at these events.

SPRING RESURRECTION 2010

The Mission of Hope began Spring Resurrection in 2001 to provide another opportunity for our church teams to partner with our Ministries and Schools in the rural Appalachian areas. The Ministry Centers are most grateful for this interaction and for our Volunteers coming to “help them help their communities.” It is also a fantastic opportunity of outreach for a fun-filled community-wide event.

If a spring event will not work, perhaps a Summer Missions Trip would be another outreach for a church team. If your group is interested in more information on this wonderful program or have questions, please call the Mission of Hope office or e-mail us at info@missionofhope.org.

SUMMER MISSIONS 2010

I am excited to share with you about two AWESOME Summer Mission Trip Opportunities for you and your Church Youth and or Adults to consider. Many of you have asked us from time to time about such an opportunity and I would welcome you to consider either one of these as a NEW SUMMER IDEA this year.

BIG CREEK MISSIONS (Big Creek, KY)

We have been blessed to work with Kevin Rogers and this wonderful Ministry, for the past few years. They will be doing several week long Summer Mission Trips; this Summer. They have put together quite an interesting format and a mixture of Construction, Outreach, and Evangelism activities and tasks; to reach out to those in the rural Appalachian Communities where they are serving. They also have a need for the following summer Volunteers:

1. Construction Crew Chiefs (experienced) / who might want to come and pull a trailer and live at Big Creek for a few weeks this summer. This task would involve coordinating and leading the Construction Teams and the projects they will be doing.
    

2. Kitchen Coordinators & Helpers / who might want to come and assist in the kitchen for a few weeks this Summer. This task would involve planning, preparing, and feeding approximately 220 Volunteers/Staff each day, in their full size commercial kitchen.

Please go to their web-site at: www.BigCreekMissions.com or call them at: 606-653-0513; to get complete details and additional information or to inquire about serving along with them.

THE HOPE ACADEMY (Black Mountain, KY)

We have been blessed to work with Ginger Forbes and her Mission Of Hope Team at Christ Covenant PC, for the past several years. They have created a wonderful Summer Mission Trip which involves Outreach, Evangelism, Teaching/Mentoring, and light Construction tasks. They operate out of the Black Mountain Elementary School and stay in Harlan, KY; at a Hotel there (approximately $80 per night). There are also Camp Sites available in the area as well. The dates are: Monday June 7th thru Friday June 11th. They also conclude with an awesome and very special event for youth and adults. The trip objectives are as follows:

1. To teach classes for younger students about a Biblical world view.

2. Provide work projects at the School and nearby Community.

3. To teach adults/parents some basic courses to better enrich their lives (intro to computers, basic finance, quilting, cooking with a budget, crafts).

Please contact Ginger Forbes at: gingerforbes@hotmail.com or by phone at: 865-850-2628; to get complete details and additional information or to inquire about serving along with them.

These opportunities could change you and your Families lives. Go...and get blessed this Summer.

Thanks for your friendship and support and for helping extend True Hope.
