How You Can Get Involved

Summer is quickly approaching and with that comes many opportunities for ministry in the Gibsontown community.  There is need for groups to provide summer activities for the children during the months they are not in school.  This could be a week of VBS or a weekly one day activity which might be a reading program or Back Yard Bible Club.  This is a great place to do pre-mission trip training for your youth group.  The needs are great, spiritually and economically, in this community.  

In addition to the needs for children is also the need for individuals to teach Life Skills Classes to adults.  These classes are offered to teach job skills so they can get a job or a better job such as basic computer, resume' writing, and income producing skills.  To teach basic homemaking skills such as cooking, sewing, budgeting, basic health care, etc.   The list could go on and on.  Classes may be a one day class or on going. 

If you or your church group is looking for a ministry to be involved in, we have the location.  Contact us for additional information at Gibsontownministries@gmail.com or 423/765-2950.
