Where are we going?
We will be traveling to Bear Branch, Kentucky, to serve with Big Creek Missions. Big Creek reaches the communities of Leslie, Clay, and Perry County with the gospel of Jesus Christ through free home repairs, community programs, children programs, food distribution, and teen outreach. Our job is to partner with the Big Creek missionaries on the ground to support their year-round programs as we share the gospel.
What are we doing?
In short: whatever the missionaries need us to do! We will split up in teams when we arrive to Big Creek. Each team will have at least two B3 Youth Leaders with them. Teams will split up to complete small construction projects, work with local community or children programs, or help with food distribution. Big Creek will have a general schedule of projects needed to be completed each day but we will also be available for any last-minute needs that need to be met.
Where are we staying?
The Main Campus of Big Creek Missions is located at the old Big Creek Elementary School in Bear Branch, Kentucky. Main Campus has been fully renovated and now has 10 bunkrooms, 2 large bathrooms with shower stalls, a dining hall, worship area, and large front lawn with a pavilion, volleyball court, playground, and GaGa pit. The property is entirely fenced in and gated and there are electronic locks on the building. You can see pictures here: Main Campus
What is the cost?
The total cost for this trip is $250.00, due to Bishop Branch Baptist. This will cover housing, all meals, transportation, and any supplies that are needed for ministry while in Kentucky. This includes construction equipment and supplies, children programs supplies, and community supplies.
The payment schedule can be found below:
Deposit to Secure Spot: $50.00 due January 8th
Second Payment: $100 due February 5th
Final Payment: $100 due March 5th
We do encourage students to fundraise. Once a student signs up, they can submit their photo to Whitney and we will place them on our Fundraising Page here: Kentucky Mission Trip Fundraising
Why Big Creek?
Big Creek is a fantastic ministry that intentionally meets the physical needs of Leslie, Clay, and Perry Counties while sharing the gospel of Jesus Christ. They are people-focused and not project-focused. Bishop Branch Baptist has sent teams for years to serve at Big Creek and the staff of B3 as well as many of the members of the Youth Leadership Team have been able to be a part of this ministry.
How do I sign up?
