Through our work and fantastic partners in Rural Mississippi, Christ's love is saturating the surrounding communities. We will partner together with a local ministry that has been established for decades. The trusted relationships that have been developed allow us to engage quickly and deeply with others.
A stark contrast from city or suburban life, this rural community sticks to the simplicity of life. The long history of racism is still palpable between the Native Americans, the black and the white communities. Poverty is also a very obvious issue as many families live in rundown homes and have little access to resources.
What an incredible backdrop for ministry! Our love and continued presence in the community expresses itself through discipleship of the youth, home restoration projects and more. Our group will have plenty of opportunities to share the love of Christ in a meaningful and tangible way.
