Work Camp at Frakes
The Frakes work camp has its base of operations at the original site where Hiram Frakes began Henderson Settlement. Although the Settlement has been able to provide many services to the community, there is still a great deal of need. We are excited that you're considering coming and helping in this very valuable ministry!

In our Online Library you will find documents and information that you'll need to be ready for your visit to Henderson Settlement. We ask that you start with the checklist, and that will guide you through the steps that you need to take to prepare for and organize your trip.

Work Camp at the White Oak Center
In the 1990s, requests for assistance increased in the area around White Oak, Tennessee, because this community has challenges similar to those in the Frakes community. Teams working on homes in the area were at a disadvantage having to travel seventeen miles back to the Settlement for food and lodging.

The White Oak Center opened in the summer of 2001, and since then, during the summer months, many teams have been based out of this facility. Up to 48 people can be housed and fed. Work teams are scheduled through the Work Camp Office at Henderson Settlement, and a project manager is on site at White Oak to assist the teams during working hours.

Eastland Church is supporting Charlotte McPherson, who is working as a missionary in Eurasia.  The specific area that she is working is predominately Muslim.  Less than .1% of the country’s entire population is Christian.  Charlotte shares that her specific area remains the largest unreached nation in the world.   Charlotte is doing an amazing job of building bridges with people and earning the right to share the message of Jesus Christ.   The process is slow but well worth the effort.

Currently, Charlotte is building on the success of a conference in which 200 foreign workers and female Christian leaders came together to encourage one another and plan strategies for the future.  She is asking for Eastland to pray specifically for all the believers as they endeavor to walk in faith and live a life of integrity in a spiritually dark place. The challenge is great and not without sacrifice.

CMO is a faith based, non-profit, (501/c3)organization  for children at risk in impoverished counties in the Appalachian Region. CMO was founded by Bruce and Cindy Feller in 2000 as a Kid’s Day Camp and a work camp to help low-income families meet basic home repair needs. In 2002 CMO became recognized year-round mission station that provides support for low-income families in the form of food, clothing, household items, home repairs, Kid’s Day Camp and holiday gifts.

CMO is located two hours southeast of Lexington, Kentucky, in the beautiful Daniel Boone National Forest, just 20 miles south of the Natural Bridge State Park, and the must-see Red River Gorge. It’s hard to believe that such poverty can flourish in such beauty.

Volunteer Mission Opportunities      
  -Groups
  -Families
  -Couples
  -Individuals
  -Home Repair and Home Building
In poverty situations the children often suffer the most. Our experience is that a safe home can change a child’s life. A safe home leads to better sleep, more of a feeling of safety, and often better concentration in school. Every year CMO builds a house and repairs 15 to 20 others for families with children in need.

Kid’s Camp
CMO offers Kid’s Camp, a VBS-style program, as many weeks in the summer as we have church groups willing to come and teach. One of the CMO programs offers leadership training for teens to be volunteer day camp counselors, and then the teen counselors are instrumental in planning and leading the camp.

Distance Donations
We have had church groups bring a bus load of clothing and food donations and we’ve traveled the ridges with them to do distributions. We receive donations  locally and nationally to assist with this important ministry, and volunteers that come to CMO assist with clothing and food distribution.

General Ministry Opportunities
There are always needed projects going on at CMO. Volunteers who come here help us with equipment maintenance, help with our website and publicity, man a fundraising and ministry booth at local festivals, or do general housekeeping duties around CMO.

Your Ministry Ideas - Your Mission Can Become Our Mission

Heart to Honduras (http://hth.org) is a holistic ministry that seeks to address
both the spiritual and the material needs of the poor in
Honduras. Our objectives are to meet basic needs. In the
spirit of Matthew 25:31-46, we see these needs falling into
five primary categories:

HOPE, HEALING, HOUSING, FOOD and CLOTHING.

About La Cima World Missions (http://www.lacimaworldmissions.org)

La Cima was founded by Dr. David and Marty Sperow.  They are a husband and wife team that spent time living and working as full-time missionaries in Honduras, Central America.  There they worked in a small medical/dental clinic in the village of Canchias.

In the time they were there, they were pushed well outside their comfort zones as God accomplished many amazing feats before their eyes and at their hands.

Many relationships were developed in the time they spent in Honduras that can only be described as God at work.  Governmental, personal, and medical connections were made that pointed to a God-sized task in the making.  David and Marty returned to the United States and organized La Cima.

The Board of Directors is a group of individuals, in the medical and dental professions, with hearts for missions.  Our main goal is to follow God’s call and watch as He works through His servants.
What does “La Cima” mean?

La Cima is Spanish for “the summit” or “the mountain top.”  One of the most common descriptors of a medical mission trip is that it “was a mountain top experience.”  We wanted to capture that in our name.  When you go where God is working, it takes you to a high point that can be experienced but never fully described.

We encourage you to consider a mission trip, if that is where God is calling you, even if it is not through La Cima.  Rest assured if you have never done it before, it can be a life-changing experience.
