God Cares Outreach

Youth and Young Adults,

Here is an opportunity to show the world and the Gulf Coast that God still cares. Convoy of Hope needs 20 teams of 300 people each to reach out to the devastated communities over the next two years. The outreaches commenced March 18th with the next one planned for Biloxi MS on April 1. Each outreach consists of grocery distributions, haircuts, entertainment, children's ministry, community service involvement, health fairs, and other compassion components.

Opportunities include greeters, safety personnel, children's ministry workers, food preparation volunteers, intercessory prayer partners, forklift drivers, licensed hair stylists, nurses, doctors, dentists, site entertainment (bands, drama teams, dance teams, etc.) as well as people willing and able to do personal evangelism. For detailed information including dates, travel considerations, contacts and online registration visit Convoy's God Cares Outreach Site.

Since its founding in 1994, Convoy of Hope has:

  • Distributed more than 20 million pounds of food to needy families in the United States and around the world
  • Provided food to more than 2 million people
  • Placed shelters, water purification units and other supplies around the world
  • Responded to disasters and crises in 30 countries
  • Mobilized more than 100,000 volunteers and over 5,000 organizations to offer assistance to families in need
  • Convoy is still reaching out in the Tsunami-stricken countries and in earthquake-shaken Pakistan
  • God does care and often demonstrates it through people who do too. Everyone can reach out through prayer. As you pray, remember that God cares just as much about you and has sent people and blogs to tell you.
