Important Trip Info
Learn more about the Rural Church Planting trip experience:
A rural church planting movement across southern Missouri and northern Arkansas is positioning local pastors in important roles that help them better serve their communities. Convoy of Hope’s Rural Initiatives help train those pastors for community engagement and provide periodic resourcing to support them in fulfilling their goals.
Field Teams visiting this region will likely get the opportunity to assist the local church in serving the surrounding community. The list of opportunities is great — help with ongoing feeding programs, build community gardens, assist in renovation projects that allow for gathering places like community coffee shops, and more. The work will depend on the church’s in-depth understanding of the assets available. Our desire is to increase the capacity of church leaders and the ability for members to serve with the resources they already have.
Potential projects include serving food, working on rehabilitation projects, hosting local block parties, assisting with community gardens, engaging with children, and participating in other community development projects unique to the town.
We work closely with our local hosts to determine the specific projects your team will take part in. We will communicate those to you at least 60 days prior to your trip.
Note: We noted the range of funds in connection with the project funds for the trip. Please know that raising more funds allows for greater possibilities.
