Sevierville, TN–The Smoky Mountain Children’s Home (SMCH) will officially turn 100 years old on December 17, 2020. For several months, the children’s home had been planning creative ways to celebrate this momentous occasion during a year marked with the ongoing pandemic. With heartfelt concern, SMCH has made the difficult decision to not move forward with an in-person celebration. Dr. Walt Mauldin, Executive Director, stated the following:
It annoys me when Christians try force people to fit in narrow categories. For years, we’ve done this with gender. I wish I had a dollar for every time a preacher has claimed that “all men hide their feelings” or “all women love to shop” or “all men refuse to ask for directions.”
On Saturday, November 7th, MISSIONFIELDUSA.com launched its new website. The stated goal of MISSIONFIELDUSA.com is to mobilize thousands of Christians to bring the gospel of Jesus Christ to largely unreached places in the United States – primarily through short-term gospel excursions.
