2023 Teen Mission Jasper County

WHO ARE WE?

We are an interdenominational Christian ministry of R.A.M.A., Rensselaer Area Ministerial Association. We have been at work helping our friends and neighbors here in our own county since 2010. 

Often, mission and teen groups step up to help people in need in other places around the country and around the world, and rightly so. But just as often, our neighbors and friends right here also find themselves without the resources and the physical ability to make the needed home repairs. 

With this is mind, TEEN MISSION set out to bring a mission trip to our own hometown; to help anyone who just needs a hand when they cannot do it for themselves. In doing this, we train teenagers to care about their community, their neighbors, and their friends.

We help develop them into leaders who are strong enough to step up when and where they are needed. We train them to be involved; right here at home and wherever God may take them. Many of our teens have gone on to be leaders in other places around the world – doing mission work through YWAM, 8 Days of Hope, and other programs, Habitat for Humanity, and helping their new neighbors in other places around the country. Some of our teens are now TMJC leaders themselves, training the next group of students!

WHAT DO WE DO?

We contribute to a variety of community service projects for one week every summer at no cost to the home owner, staff, or participants. We do landscaping, repairs, painting, wheelchair ramps, and more for those who lack the physical or financial ability.
