World Changers
World Changers was an organization that was an entity of LifeWay Student Ministries. It provides national youth work projects. During projects, students typically spend one week repairing damaged homes. The missions agency for World Changers was the North American Mission Board until 2011 when LifeWay took over. In 2020, due to the coronavirus pandemic World Changers ceased operations[1]
History[edit]
The organization's first service projects began in the summer of 1990. The host-city of the first project was Briceville, TN. In 1992, World Changers expanded abroad with a project in Ciudad Victoria, Mexico.[2]
Projects[edit]
For each project, youth and adults provide labor at their own expense for substandard homes. All participants are divided into crews for the week. At each work site crews usually paint, reroof, or perform other light construction jobs. In January 2011, high school and college students volunteers of World Changers returned to Rock Hill, South Carolina to continue to help substantially by improving homes in need throughout the city. World Changers is planning to recruit as many as 350 volunteers and help as many as 33 homes in Rock Hill this year.[3]
