The Lord's people both at home and
abroad have need of your help. Ridge Haven missions projects provide a
special US-based opportunity for individuals, churches, presbyteries,
Men of the Covenant groups, WIC groups, Sunday School classes, youth
groups, RUF, and other campus groups. All individuals and/or groups are
provided free lodging during participation in Ridge Haven work and
missions projects. Meals are not provided. The work
that is performed serves not only present needs but future
generations. Ministry in, among, and to the Lord's people receives and
gives blessings not only for the present but for eternity. Since 1994
more that a dozen different projects have been completed including
cafeteria renovation, Iverson Lodge renovation and new porch, new
roofs on five buildings, new re-shelter steps, trail improvements, and
the entrance-island landscaping.
We invite you and/or
your group to join the hundreds who have made Ridge Haven Missions
Projects their own mission trip and project.
