Hands and Feet International Ministries has the mission of serving other nations and language groups. Teams of short-term missionaries partner with other churches and non-profit organizations to build schools and churches in impoverished communities, conduct Bible classes, lead Kids Klubs, women's ministries & men's ministries and participate in door-to-door visitation to share the hope found only in Jesus Christ. These teams are made up of individuals from multiple churches in Knoxville and the southeastern U.S.

Hands and Feet International also provided support to Iglesia Bautista La Gran Comision (Morristown, TN) and Bridgewater Church (Knoxville, TN) in starting Iglesia Christiana Vida Abundante (ICVA), a Spanish speaking church. ICVA has now joined with Iglesia Bautista La Cruz in Lenoir City, TN.  Bible study and English classes are still offered in the Knoxville area.  For more information on any of these Spanish-speaking churches, Bible studies or English classes, visit http://www.iblagrancomision.org or call 865-804-5400.

Mission Trips

Past international mission projects include Maracaibo, Venezuela (2001 and 2003); La Puerta, Venezuela (2003);
Andes Mountains, Venezuela (2003 and 2004).

In 2004, Hands & Feet Ministries and Bridgewater Church partnered with Jesu Cristo es la Puerta Church in the Andes Mountains of Venezuela to build the first church in Carrorita.

In 2003, along with several other U.S. churches and a local Venezuelan church, Hands & Feet partnered to build a school in the community of Zona Nueva (New Zone).

In 2002, we built the first school in the village of Paraguachon, Venezuela - a community that lives from the Maracaibo city garbage dump. The school at Paraguachon is now the centerpiece around which this community is being transformed through the ministry of a local Venezuelan church.
