God has given us a unique opportunity to meet a genuine need in our own backyard.  McCreary County is home to one of the most impoverished areas in the entire country.  According to U.S. Census Bureau data, McCreary County is ranked number 21 on the list of counties with highest poverty rates, with 6,063 people (35.4% of the population) living below the poverty level.  Unemployment rate, as of last year, stands at 13.3%.  In the midst of this pain, we hope to be a light to our community.  We invite you to partner with us in bringing Christ to this broken area. 

God has also blessed us with facilities to host groups coming to the area to do mission work.  Opportunities in the past have included construction/remodeling work, Backyard Bible Clubs, door-to-door evangelism, and a variety of different work.

We offer lodging in Elisha’s Bunkhouse, with facilities to sleep a maximum of 18 adults.  The Bunkhouse is located on the same property as our church, so groups may also have access to the Fellowship Hall, large professional kitchen, and other spaces as needed.

Basic rates for the bunkhouse are as follows:

Weekly (Saturday to Saturday)

$50 per person (18 person maximum), with a minimum of $500 for the week  

Less than a 7 night stay  

Teams of 1-10: $75 per night per group

Teams of 11-18: $150 per night per group

For more information about setting up your stay or general information about missions in the area please contact Darrell or Debbie Hansford via email or phone (606) 310-1475.
