Team Effort

When mission teams visit Red Hill, the excitement level inevitably ratchets up. So it was this past week as Nashville's Rolling Hills Community Church came calling.

Much like LowCountry Community Church did last November, the RHCC team made door-to-door visits, ministered to women and men through crafts and games, helped with the afternoon Children’s Clubs, undertook a major renovation project on the local health clinic, and hosted a community-wide celebration featuring worship songs, testimonies and dinner.

All their work was a blessing, but the clinic project was especially significant. The crumbling structure had been out of use for months, forcing the weekly government-run healthcare operation into the much smaller Living Hope containers. Six members of the Rolling Hills team, along with several laborers hired from within the community, repaired the foundation and added new flooring, roofing and a shelter. In exchange for the repairs, the local government has offered Living Hope use of the facility for ministry events.

The Thursday evening outreach was a well-attended and highly spirited gathering, with children and adult community members helping lead worship and Rolling Hills team member Brett James introducing a song he wrote especially for Red Hill.
