Gatlinburg, TN
Dates Available:
Mission Projects:
Over the years youth mission teams and our mission camp staff have formed strong bonds with the people they have ministered to in the poor communities scattered throughout the mountains of eastern Tennessee. Some of these local residents are destitute and forgotten, living in clusters of dilapidated, seemingly unlivable mobile homes alongside old dirt roads. Some of them are widows or young families who just need help to get their homes dry and winterized. Still others are trying to run outreach missions, but don’t even have enough funds to keep up their own facilities.
Throughout these areas are children and adults alike who just need to be shown the love of Christ. Youth groups will be able to minister in these areas through home work projects such as painting and repair. Handson mission projects will also continue at a local ministry for the deaf and with the families they serve.
