Finding Joy in the Mountains

Update posted 2 days ago

Disaster relief in the mountains isn’t glamorous. It’s cold, muddy, and exhausting. Yet, joy flourishes—not because the circumstances are easy, but because of the countless volunteers who seek the Lord and pour themselves into serving others.

This Thanksgiving, we experienced that joy firsthand. Our team had the privilege of packing meals for EMS personnel working through the holiday. The day before, a group of missionary kids sat around a table, markers and stickers in hand, searching their Bibles for encouraging scriptures. Their mission? To decorate food containers with messages of hope for those who would receive them.

On Thanksgiving morning, my children eagerly joined the effort. They jumped into line to portion food, apply their hand-decorated labels, and share what Thanksgiving and being a missionary kid meant to them. Watching them serve filled me with overwhelming gratitude. In that moment, I felt God’s steadfastness—even in the small things like holiday plans and my children’s expectations.

But if I’m honest, there was a moment that morning when I didn’t want to serve. I wanted to stay home, wear cozy clothes, and take a day off. Yet, God nudged my heart, reminding me of a phrase a dear friend often says: â€śLife is ministry, and ministry is life.” That gentle truth shifted my perspective.

As we poured ourselves into serving the EMS community, God poured right back into us. Volunteers unexpectedly arrived with a lavish feast for our team—a tangible outpouring of generosity that left me in awe.

An Abundant Life

I’m constantly reminded that Adventures Relief isn’t alone in this mission. There’s an army of believers, united in faith, bringing hope to the brokenhearted. What a delight it is to live out this abundant life, surrounded by people who embody the love of Christ.

This Christmas, my hope is that you know there’s a seat for you here.

  • If you feel called to join us, come.
  • If giving fuels your heart for mission, we’re deeply grateful.
  • If prayer is your offering, know this: it’s one of the greatest gifts you can give.

However God stirs your heart, we’re thankful for your partnership. Together, we’re building something extraordinary—hope, one step at a time.

“You make known to me the path of life; in your presence there is fullness of joy; at your right hand there are pleasures forevermore.” – Psalm 16:11


Hurricane Helene's Devastation: We Need Your Help!

Hurricane Helene has devastated communities, leaving millions without power and some stranded like our World Race teams on Black Mountain. While immediate needs are critical, recovery will be long-term.

Adventures Relief, a ministry with 34 years of experience, is mobilizing resources. We'll connect you with impacted communities and ways to help. The situation is still very fluid so we'll post updates here as we are able.

Please pray for first responders and stranded communities like Black Mountain. Recovery will take years, but together, the body of Christ can rebuild.
