Impact Appalachia MICRO MISSIONS



On November 19-20, Impact Missions Adventure welcomed over 30 volunteers to help
prepare and organize donated items for the Impact Appalachia Missions Adventure. That sentence
sounded “nice,” didn’t it? Do you know how this “nice” sentence becomes extraordinary? Out of
those 30 volunteers, the majority were kids!

Joplin Family Worship Center, Oasis Worship Center (Joplin, MO), and Solid Rock Family Church (Jefferson City, MO)
recruited their young leaders to give up their weekend to help make an Impact in Appalachia. Kids and teens
willingly gave up their Saturday morning “sleep-in time” to organize over 200 boxes of clothes for families living
in Hazel Green, KY, Craigsville, VA, and Pineville, WV.




The weekend was full of laughing, singing, connecting, sharing, and giving of self. It was humbling to see
Christ-followers coming together to make a difference, coming together to do their part, and coming together
to share the love of Christ to communities they may never step foot in. What a great example this team has
shown.

We are so thankful for Messenger College, as well. They opened their doors
to the missions team and allowed them to stay in their dorms, meet in their cafeteria, and accomplish
the project in their gymnasium. Messenger College students, Kayli Price, Caleb Smith, and Jada’ Tanoh
organized the entire weekend. They are believers in our young leaders and know the importance
of raising a mission-minded generation.





On December 9-10, over 100 people (kids, teens, and adults) will be taking a missions trip to the
Appalachia region. We will be giving blankets, shoes, socks, food, and healthcare products to 600
Families. It takes all of us working together to make an impact!
Our heart goes out to the donators, collectors, organizers, transporters, and the givers…we do it all
In the name of Jesus and for the receivers.

For it is more blessed to give than to receive. Acts 20:35
