How YOU Can Get Involved:

1. Write to Our Missionaries – we all need encouragement! Your Community Group or Bible Study can even “adopt” one of our missionary families by caring for them year-round in various ways. Contact Cammy Bethea (cammy.bethea@christcommunity.org) for more information. 

2. Pray for Our Missionaries – join one of our prayer teams! All of our missionaries send in a few specific prayer requests each month. Our World Missions Prayer Team (for overseas missionaries) meets the first Thursday of each month (7:00 – 8:00 p.m.) at Cammy’s house in Fieldstone Farms. Our Home Missions Prayer Team (for local ministries/missionaries) meets the third Thursday of each month (10:00 – 11:00 a.m.) in the CCC Women’s Parlor. All are welcome – come join us in prayer! 

3. Read A Missionary Biography! Come browse the biographies (for various ages) in our missions office (C208). We have 20-25 chapter books and picture books which feature the lives of well-known missionaries who have literally changed the world – a great variety for all ages!

4. Reach Out to International Students or Refugees. Contact William Mwizerwa (william@africanleadershipinc.org) to work with African refugees who have resettled locally. Offer simple hospitality. By simply including them in your normal family meals/activities, they feel welcomed. Learn about their part of the world at the same time.

5. Mentor/Encourage At-Risk Youth in Our Community - make a difference in their lives! Contact Barefoot Republic Camp (trhodes@barefootrepublic.org), Franktown Open Hearts (ryan@franktownopenhearts.com), and/or New Hope Academy (psauder@nhafranklin.org).

6. Volunteer with Local Jail/Prison Ministry - through prayer, visitation/counseling, correspondence, Bible Study, worship/concerts, and transportation. Contact Bill Brown (micah68@comcast.net) or Bob Smith (Maggie.smith07@comcast.net) or Rick Allen (harvestprisonministry@comcast.net) for men’s ministry opportunities. Contact Judy Felts (judy@judyfelts.com) for opportunities @ the TN Prison for Women.

7. Become an Advocate for Missions – it’s the normal Christian life! Encourage your Community Group, SS Class, and others to get more involved. Reach out to our visitors & new members. Save your loose change for our special offerings several times a year. Give of yourself for God’s glory. Everyone can make a difference!
