A mission trip to East Tennessee, August 30 through September 5.
Dear Church Family
We are sending a mission team to East Tennessee August 30 through September 5. The team will be working on a phase of construction on a home being built for a family who lost their home in the Hurricane Helene flood.
Under the leadership of Tennessee Baptist Disaster Relief's Arise and Build program and the Appalachian Service Project, Tennessee Baptists have committed to building at least 40 homes due to this disaster.
Would you partner with us on this mission trip through prayer?
Will you pray specifically in the following ways?
