Why Working Mission?

Working: the action of doing work
Mission: a task that is assigned or begun, a task that is regarded as a very important duty

We believe caring for the overlooked and underserved population of refugee and international communities in middle Tennessee is a mission of high importance, but also a mission that is going to require diligent work if we want to provide dignity, hope and help.

Working Mission was birthed from the idea of a mustard seed. Something that begins its life cycle as an incredibly small somewhat unnoticed seed that ultimately grows into a large plant and some would even say tree. Understanding that we, on our own, are a small, focused team of people, we pray that something large will grow from this work to impact and sustain the increasing population of underserved people in our communities and beyond.
