Mission Team Fund

Adults and teens travel to mission sites within the United States every other year to show God’s love in practical ways. We were scheduled to go to Tennessee in 2021, but that has been pushed to 2022 due to COVID-19. Past missions have renovated homes, including building and repairing roofs and painting.
