Fairmont is an exciting and rewarding challenge for those who may have no previous missions experience and for experienced teams as well.In fact many churches send teams year after year.It is especially well suited for junior and senior high age groups, collage students, and families with children.Although many churches send all adult teams too.The work is set in West Virginia “coal country”, so the culture will be somewhat different then their own.The ministry is in partnership with Christ Community Church (PCA).The work is “mercy ministry”, teams will repair and work on homes in the community while developing close relationships.These relationships will lead to opportunities to share the Gospel.Additional ministry opportunities may include: backyard Bible clubs, VBS, and sports camps in local parks, working in the kitchen at camp, tutoring, and one-on-one evangelism.Team building and individual Christian growth occur as the gospel is demonstrated in both word and deed.Accommodations are provided at Dayspring Camp, in Fairmont West Virginia.Your day will conclude with an evening worship program which includes music and a dynamic message.Team members will need to bring their own tools, as well as towels, personal items and sleeping bags.
