Bridges of Life Workcamps
Iowa Falls, Iowa

Nestled on the banks of the beautiful Iowa River in North Central Iowa, its river, cliffs and parks have given Iowa Falls its well-deserved nickname of the Scenic City. Iowa Falls is a modern "Tale of Two Cities," at once embodying "the best of times and the worst of times."

Although still a thriving hub community of 5,300 people, like much of rural America and Iowa, the town has seen a dramatic population decline in the last twenty years. While many of our citizens and businesses are thriving, equally as many are suffering and struggling to get by, as evidenced by the high number of homes and properties which have fallen into a state of disrepair.

In the words of Isaiah 58, come and help us to "rebuild" and "raise up foundations;" join us and be "the repairer of the breach" and "the restorer of streets to dwell in."

Hands of Hope Workcamps
Memphis, Tennessee

When Memphis comes to mind, you might think of Graceland, the Memphis Belle, the home of Elvis Presley or the Lorraine Motel, the place where Dr. Martin Luther King was killed in 1968. Founded in 1819, its population has grown to over 650,000 people and not unlike many large cities, has a great amount of need.

Cherry Road Baptist Church has been reaching out to the people in their neighborhood with the love of Christ for many years. They are now joining forces with other area churches and organizations to bring TeenServe to Memphis so that our hands of hope can meet the needs of people in a practical way. Will you be the ones to bring that hope?

Iowa Falls Worship Band
Matt and Suzy K

Matt and Suzie have been involved with music together since their marriage in 1998. During that time they have led worship and performed concerts at numerous conferences, camps, retreats, churches, festivals, and venues throughout the nation.

Some highlights over the years have been the opportunities to open for such national artists as Shane and Shane, Sara Groves, Sonic Flood, Switchfoot, and others. Matt and Suzie currently reside in Eau Claire, Wisconsin with their two little girls, Macie and Georgia, and are on staff as the music directors at Harvestime Church.

Their heart is that the church would be unified, not through music or a church service, but through a heart to serve and meet the needs of those around us.
