Connections Inspire Change (Christian Appalachian Project)

In isolation, we can become frustrated with the problems of the world. When we join a team, that frustration becomes energy to inspire us to be the changemakers. The Christian Appalachian Project (CAP) has been looking for changemakers since it was founded in 1964.

Remembering Servanthood (Mission Trips USA)
