RV with a purpose

[Gene_Walters]

Traveling is a blast, but how about traveling with a purpose?

Volunteer Mobile Missionaries (VMM) is comprised of retired or semi-retired Christians who have access to an RV. We are all self supporting and have our own medical insurance.
We are non-denominational and inter-denominational.

Our members enjoy serving God and His people in a special way. We work on selected projects at Christian camps, churches, boarding schools, and other Christ centered activities. Primarily, our work involves construction, renovation, or remodeling, but many other areas are touched as well. Every kind of worker is utilized as the needs are varied in God’s service, therefore, we can accommodate everyone who is willing to apply him/herself. There is no requirement for women to work, although many do.

Our day starts with devotions and includes morning, lunch and afternoon breaks. Our projects last 3 weeks, working 4 days a week, 7 hours a day.

Pets are welcome at most projects.

Many of our people bring with them construction skills and soon pass these skills on to others. Of course, the most valuable contribution is a life dedicated to serving Jesus.

Thanks for all the positive comments. What we do is fun and rewarding. We have some pictures on our website. Feel free to email me with questions, or give me a call. I might be on a project working, but I would love to chat and will call you back. Here is a link to an article from Rapid City SD about a recent project.

"especially those with an older group and limited funds!"

Anyone recently encounter a church that doesn't have a big majority of older members and limited funds? I guess I'd try to determine if the needed work on the church could be done my the members. If it could, those members should do the work. Schools and camps are different...worthy almost all the time of volunteer help.

Yes, this is such a great mission! Helping church congregations that are in need of help, especially those with an older group and limited funds!

My wife and I were discussing what we would like to do when I retire in about five years. We'd love to do some volunteer work where we do a little traveling. As Christians, this would be right up our alley. Will keep this in mind!

"We work on selected projects at Christian camps, churches, boarding schools, and other Christ centered activities."

Good! My only issue would be the work on actual churches. If the congregation can't keep that facility in repair....then the members don't care. You can't care more than they do.

Sounds interesting and rewarding. I'll have to look this up!
