About this Project
Chesapeake VA is a construction-based project. These projects specialize in serving a community by meeting a physical need. Groups most often serve by working on someone’s home through work like painting, handicap ramps, and more. Students are equipped and encouraged to build relationships with homeowners and community members in hopes of sharing the gospel. All programming like a speaker and worship, in addition to food and lodging, are covered in the registration fee.
Every year WMU and the North American Mission Board partner to select missionaries who will be featured in Christmas in August. The missionaries provide a list of items they need for ministry and outreach, and the lists of requested items are posted online. More information will soon be available
What is Operation Inasmuch?
Operation Inasmuch is a worldwide ministry that comes alongside churches and pastors to equip and motivate them to obey the biblical mandate to minister to the “least of these.” Using the Inasmuch model of compassion ministry, we empower believers to live out their calling to serve others and experience the joy that comes from serving. We encourage pastors who want to see their church connected in their community but don’t have the time or training to do it on their own. We show believers how they can create opportunities to share the gospel by doing the gospel.
Operation Inasmuch is focused on the entire body of Christ and provides tremendous opportunities for people to serve for the first time, families to serve together, and even congregations from multiple denominations to come together to be the hands and feet of Jesus and become the Body of Christ.
