Engage Hikers at Trail Days
March 2019
ABOUT THE INITIATIVE:
Hundreds of hikers and bikers from all over the world travel through the Appalachian Trail each year, giving nearby SBC of Virginia churches a great ministry opportunity. Help us reach out to these bikers and hikers by sending supplies they need. As the churches minister to needs, doors of opportunity are opened to share the Gospel.
Here’s how you can be involved:
Since these items will be carried in their backpacks, please think light and small! The churches will display bins of items for the hikers to choose what they need. Below is a list of items that are needed (do not make packets – just send the supplies in bulk):
- Nail clipper
- Nail files
- Dental Floss
- Pens
- Toothbrushes
- Liquid antibacterial soap (small)
- Note pads (small)
- Toothpaste
- Shampoo
- Cotton balls
- Lip balm
- Baby powder
- Clothespins
- Insect repellant
- Small testament/Bibles
- Contact solution
- Travel tissue packs
- Sewing/repair kits
