WANT TO JOIN US?
Would you like to join us on our weekend long mission trip to Southern Appalachia? Please contact us by November 10th to reserve your spot. Please note that this a mission trip, not a vacation to Disney World. We can’t promise you four star accommodations, let alone a bed. We can’t promise you that you won’t get sick on the mountain roads. We can’t even promise we will have good heat. What we can promise you is a weekend where your sacrifices will make a difference.; a weekend filled with God’s love; a weekend that will perhaps change you. If you’re game, we’d love to have you.
If you have items to be picked up in the Charlotte area, please contact Kevin Hyatt at 704-753-4107 or 704-292-0089 anytime.
Email info@appalachianmissionproject.com and Laura will put you on the distribution list and send PDF files of promotional materials.

It Does Not Matter:
It does not matter that there is no heat
It does not matter that they have to cross the road to bathe
It does not matter that there are no phones
It does not matter that the food isn’t great
It does not matter that the winding roads make you sick
It does not matter that you tire of seeing the same faces
It does not matter
By the end it all seems trivial
To whine and complain
About how you lived one weekend of your life
When they live this life everyday
It does not matter
It is not about you
It’s about Jesus Christ
We are sent to share his word
Sure a few toys and blankets are passed out along the way
But it does not matter
One day those too will be gone
But He will still be there
Because He matters
-Laura Hyatt
