Appalachian DEPARTURES

Continental Poverty Pockets - Regional Africa to Appalachian Regions


Greatest Poverty Pockets of the Appalachian Region
"In the Red" - Kentucky - Christian Appalachian Project (C.A.P.)

For the past couple decades our student ministry has made multiple trips to the Appalachian Region
Tennessee ('94) Ohio ('01) West Virginia ('08, '11) and for the first time on record we will
extend our mission to Kentucky ('16)

Recent flooding has stressed the region.  CAP has extended their reach to assist in the post-flood damage.  It will be great working with an organization who is meeting the real time front line needs.  Our team however, will be stationed behind the lines - west of the catastrophes.   We will pick up where the previous teams leave off.  Our team of 25 staff/students (Including Phil & Tori) will be primarily working with hammer in hand, doing home repair and renovations - making houses a home.
Pray for our team - our departure is July 29th - Aug 9th

Our Return trip has a bonus layover outside of Cincinnati where we will spend a couple days
Exploring the Grand Opening of The Ark Encounter / Creation Museum
We are excited to be among the first wave of people to enter The Ark...
(though controversial - it is destined to stimulate some divine conversations)


 LARGEST TIMBER STRUCTURE IN THE WORLD


Extended Prayer Request: May God grant us discernment, wisdom, and retention as we 
explore, debate, and dig into Genesis at the Creation Museum & Ark Encounter...
