RED BIRD MISSION ($900)
The Red Bird Mission and Clinic have been providing ministries in this
region of the Appalachian Mountains since 1921. Today the need
remains critical in this isolated, rural distressed area. Chronic poverty,
lack of jobs, poor housing, and rugged mountainous terrain provide
obstacles to a fuller life for the residents of this area. Red Bird Mission
and Clinic strives to meet these needs through ministry in five areas:
Education, Health and Wellness, Community Outreach, Economic
Opportunity, and Community Housing Improvement.
The Education ministries are carried out through a K-12 school and an
early childhood development program for 3 and 4 year-old children.
These education ministries provide the opportunity for the children and
youth of this community to get a quality education in a loving Christian
environment empowering these young people with tools that will help
them escape this cycle of poverty in which they are exposed to and live in
daily.
Health and Wellness ministries are provided through medical and
dental clinics providing quality health and dental care in an area that is
chronically underserved. In addition to in-Clinic visits, our providers
travel to the homes of our patients to provide care to those that are
homebound.
The other three areas of ministries provide a wide variety of services to
the residents of this area. Volunteers in mission service come and help
with the refurbishment of homes, low-cost clothing and furniture is
provided through the community store and local crafter’s wares are
marketed to a wide area through the craft marketing ministry. A wide
variety of ministries to families, older adults, women and children, and
youth make their lives fuller and help them receive the assistance they
need to make their lives a bit more livable.
