The goal of BackYard Mission is to serve in the mission field of our local community by seeking out families that are in need.
Through our service and actions, we will love as Christ has loved us. As we have freely received, we will freely give. Our desire is to fill the needs of others in a very practical and hands-on way.
BackYard Mission: October Mission
Our goal is to serve in the mission field of our local community by seeking out families that are in need. Through our service and actions, we will love as Christ has loved us. As we have freely received, we will freely give.

Long Term Care: When I first heard of this family, the immediate thought that came to my mind was long term care. I am looking for four people who would be willing to make a homemade meal, once a month, to take to this family. If anyone would be willing to do it more than once a month, that would be awesome too!
