Operation Inasmuch: Mobilizing Believers Beyond the Walls of the Church
Operation Inasmuch is a proven way to mobilize believers in hands-on local church missions through one-day ministries that have significant impact both on the community and the church. It creatively combines how-to with stories and testimonies that will inspire and energize local congregations. Engaged in local mission projects, participants gain spiritual renewal and continued commitment to respond to the needs of others in the community. Operation Inasmuch is Christians doing the work of the church instead of church work. They go beyond outside the walls of church buildings to apply God's love to human hurts and hopes wherever they are found.
