The
next projects will be on July 19-24, 2010!
THINK
ABOUT IT:
-
Substandard homes being repaired—hours
and hours of hard labor in severe heat.
-
Host
churches providing meals for the crews doing the hard
labor—sacrifice, time, and expense.
-
150-plus
volunteers from all over Calhoun County—hours
and hours of labor cleaning and working.
-
Home
owners being ministered to, the Gospel being shared,
souls being saved, young people doing missions, and
lives being changed—PRICELESS!!!
This
is what World Changers is all about. Aren't you glad that
you are a part of it as a member of Calhoun Baptist Association!
What
is World Changers?
 World
Changers is a coed mission experience for youth and adults. It
combines free labor with local agencies to make a difference
in a community.
Why
is World Changers making a difference?
When World Changers began in 1990 the goal
was to change the way we approach mission education,
to get students out of the classroom and
into a hands-on mission experience. The focus was to change
the life of the
participants by giving them an opportunity to change someone
elses world. That focus is still true today. Even though
World Changers has become a strategic plan to eliminate
substandard housing for many communities, the focus is
still changing the world of the participants by giving
them a hands-on mission experience.
The
History of World Changers
World Changers is sponsored by the North American Mission
Board of the Southern Baptist Convention. World Changers
began with a focus on involving senior high youth in hands-on
missions. Since its beginning in 1990, World Changers
has been committed to offering first-rate mission experiences.
World Changers has expanded every year. It now offers
a variety of projects for all ages.
The
Mission of World Changers
 World Changers seeks to provide Christian
youth and adults with opportunities
to meet the physical and spiritual needs of others through
practical learning experiences that teach servanthood
and personal commitment to missions.
Interdenominational
Participation
World Changers is Southern Baptist in its initiative,
doctrine, and organization. We welcome the participation
and cooperation of like-minded evangelical Christian churches
that share the desire to advance the gospel through missions.
All individuals and groups must complete the pre-project
study to participate.
