Greater
Bluefield VA/WV Area Missions
The Timothy Project is pleased and honored to be a part
of this missions effort in rural Appalachia. This
mountain area has been known for coal mining and small
scale farming as primary occupations. Bluefield WVA and
Bluefield VA are towns that share a state border and a
common heritage. The population of hard working mountain
people has seen many changes including the local decline
of the coal industry, reduction in train services and
other important parts of the economy. The contributions
of time and energy by volunteers, both local and
distant, are vital ingredients in bringing hope and
renewal. We will be assisting in a variety of ways,
including home repairs, VBS for children and other ways
we can be the presence of Christ. The Timothy Project
will be partnering with agencies like the Center for
Christian Action in determining needs coordinating work.
Groups will be assigned projects based on local needs,
matched with the group’s skills and interests. Group
leaders will be responsible to manage their team of 8-12
persons and supervise the work being done. The Timothy
Project will insure that materials are made available
for the work sites.
