YouthWorks focuses on ministry. Although they use work projects as a way to see the love of Christ, it is not an end all. They do not call their trips “work camps” or spotlight a repaired house, instead the “works” in their name are about what God will do in our lives if we allow it. They desire to be Christ centered in everything that they do.

Churches Helping Churches was created to address the immediate and long-term needs of churches when disaster befalls a country, region, city, or people in the spirit of Galatians 6:10—“…let us do good to everyone, and especially to those who are of the household of faith.” Both throughout history and following specific tragedies, it is often the local church that cares for widows, orphans, and the poor. Rebuilding local churches helps address the practical and spiritual needs of a country, one person, one neighborhood, and one community at a time.
