JUMPSTART @ HEARTLAND 

DATES: August 12, 2023
TEAM LEADERS: Marc Glass and Kendra Farris

Jumpstart is Heartland’s annual back-to-school mission outreach. We will host around 200 kids from the Paducah area on this day. We will have numerous on-campus activities for the kids, as well as a shopping trip to Walmart. It is our hope that Christ’s love in both Word and deed would be demonstrated to these families, many of whom are unchurched. Due to the size and scope of this outreach event, we will need around 400 Heartland Missionaries to serve on this day. Begin looking for sign-ups in the late Spring.

Heartland will at least take a December trip to work with GAP during the Christmas season. GAP is a Southern Baptist mission located in the Appalachian region of Floyd County. They seek to offer holistic care to families by meeting both physical and spiritual needs. Mission teams will partner with GAP in home visits, prayer walking, and working at the GAP distribution center. A summer team will potentially go to Weeksbury to invest in the children of the community to make the Gospel known.
