Free Resource: 40 Servant Evangelism Projects for the Small Rural Church

40 outreach projects selected and adapted specifically for churches in small towns and rural communities. Includes basic needs projects (blessing box, hygiene closet, interview clothes closet, little free pantry, traveler’s box, winter warmth station), neighbor service projects (snow and lawn care, repair team, grocery helper, pet care), community building projects (cookout, front yard story time, community garden, teacher appreciation, first responder support), inter-church cooperation projects (joint food pantry, inter-church benevolence fund, community Thanksgiving service), and releasing the creatives projects. Each project includes estimated cost, volunteers needed, and gospel connection. Adapted from Steve Sjogren’s servant evangelism framework and Brent Lacy’s rural ministry teaching.
