RVs On a Mission (ROAM)

20/04/2023

The ROAM Board recently voted to participate in the Church of the Nazarene General Assembly gathering that will take place in June of this year. This will involve having certain ROAM members man a table in a booth at this event so that a large number of people can learn about ROAM all at one time.

There will be some expense incurred for this venture, but the ROAM organization does feel that this will be a productive investment of time and money in order to spread the word about ROAM to the thousands of folks that will be attending this event and welcomes any donations that could assist in this endeavor.

Donations to help with expenses specific to this opportunity can be made online from the Home page of our ROAM website at www.rvsonamission.org.

Donations can also be accepted via check sent to the ROAM office at PO Box 480876, Kansas City MO 64148.

Last summer these two ROAMers (Bill Borden and Gary Bohannan) manned an information table at the Mt. Chestnut Family Camp in Butler, PA. We so appreciate folks that are willing to spread the word about ROAM!

If you or anyone you know would appreciate sharing at various events about the ROAM ministry, please contact the ROAM office and we'd be glad to send you some promotional materials.

Below is a request for ROAM volunteers to work at Trinity Pines Camp and Conference Center in Cascade, Idaho, for the summer of 2023. There are several things that they could use help with.

May1 - June 9, 2023: Planning for light construction. Seeking 4+ volunteers to help with converting 7 dry cabins from summer-only to 3 season cabins. Project calls for insulating walls and ceiling, adding wall board and ceiling board. The project is calling for wood walls, not sheetrock. During this project we have some onsite housing for ROAM workers (RV may not be required).

June 7 - Mid August: Seeking volunteers for Summer camp operations (Kitchen, Housekeeping, Grounds helpers, Etc.). Full RV hookups and some meals for volunteers.

You can view more about this camp on the Projects tab of the ROAM website.

If you or anyone you know would like to become a ROAM member to help with this project and others while your RV space is provided for you, go to the Members tab on the ROAM website. www.rvsonamission.org

The ROAM board recently elected Alan Miner as ROAM President and Glenda Miner as ROAM Secretary for 2023. They have worked on several ROAM projects over the years and are willing to also serve in these elected positions.

Ed Kile was elected as ROAM Vice-President for 2023. He and Ruth have also worked at various ROAM project locations and have served in elected roles for a number of years.

Below are some pictures of the Miners serving at LifeChange Camp in Missouri and Salyer Lake Camp in Oklahoma. You can also see pics of the Kiles in previous posts on this page.

ROAM is very blessed to have these kind, servant hearted people working as leaders for this ministry.

We enjoyed a bus tour of Charleston, SC. Lots of beautiful churches, homes with lovely verandas, and ancient trees. 70 degrees and sunny!

Edited: Since I posted on this page by mistake, I thought I would add that this is just one of the many excursions you can make from your project site. Charleston is only 4 hours away from where we are serving at Black Mountain Children’s Home in North Carolina. Also, Billy Graham‘s retreat The Cove is only 5 miles from here, and the Biltmore estate is only about 10 miles away.

The ROAM office has lately been receiving project updates from various locations all across the country and we would like to start sharing about what needs are being presented to our organization.

• Light construction
• Facility maintenance and upgrades
• Laundry
• Serving & hosting meals
• Grounds and landscaping support

Did you know that as a ROAM member, your RV space is provided for you by the ROAM host (no cost to you) at any ROAM project where you volunteer to work, for the length of time that you are working at the project?

And that there are ROAM projects from coast to coast that need volunteer help?

We are having a great time here in North Carolina, volunteering at Black Mountain Childrens Home. These are other volunteers that we are working with. Awesome people! You could be having this fun too, if you joined ROAM! A great way to serve. All you need is an RV.

Would you like to travel and get your RV space costs covered for you at ROAM projects across the country? If so, you may want to refer to the 'About' section of this page or go to our RVs On A Mission website "Membership" tab for more details. The cost of your RV space is covered in exchange for the labor you provide to the project for as long as you actively work on the site.

A few projects may also be able to provide cabin or lodge housing for the length of time that you work if you do not own an RV or for some reason would rather not take your RV to a certain project.

The following information is from Rolling Hills Camp and Conference Center in Alabama. Please remember this camp, who is one of our ROAM projects, and pray for them. If you can go help them during this time of need, please contact the office.

FIRE in DINING HALL DAMAGES BATHROOMS
Firemarshall, "It is literally a miracle that the building was not a total loss!" Our response, "The Owners have special connections to "The Miracle Worker"
On Monday morning, October 19th at 8:40 a.m. A small fire was discovered in the vent/fan and light assembly unit of the women's bathroom in the Dining Hall. The Calera Fire Department was dispatched and quickly had the building safe with minimal damage.
The bathroom electrical wiring, the bathroom ceiling, the electrical fixtures; and insulation will all need to be replaced in order to open the dining hall for future guest groups.
Chuck and Renee Parish, Executive Directors at Rolling Hills, are again praising God for His loving Care and tender mercies in overseeing His Special Camp. 2015 has proved to be a summer of many challenges and considerable damage to the campgrounds due to weather, fallen trees, aging facilities and equipment failures. God has been so very faithful to meet the financial needs of this special place during difficult and trying times.

I appreciated reading what Dan and Lutrecia Church shared after their recent travels for ROAM. "Home after 6 weeks on a ROAM (RVs on a Mission) to two camps. I learned that you can live without a cell phone for 6 weeks (only had brief service when going through a town); I can live with intermittent wifi and internet and Facebook; we haven't seen real mail or junk mail for 6 weeks; we can watch TV (sometimes sporadically) without DVR, I read more, and played non electronic games when not working. I learned to be a 1950s wife - cooked 3 meals a day, cleaned, laundry - Dan loved it (that was at Salyer Lake - Camp Bond provided most of our meals, so I didn't have to cook so much)" . . . "Back to a clean house, cut lawn and flowers in bloom. Life is good, and so was our mission trip. Made new friends, did work that was meaningful, and attended good church services. Thanks for the prayers that covered us during all of the storms in Oklahoma." Thanks Dan and Trecia, for all you do for ROAM.

09/06/2015

Dan and Trecia Church (Board Members and South Central ROAM Representatives) shared with us that Whitney, TX Church of the Nazarene recently dedicated a whole service to ROAM! They honored Jack and Kay Grover (long-time ROAMers) with a plaque and dedicated the building to ROAM! It was very encouraging. :)
