What others are saying about ICO

I am writing to recommend to all South Carolina Baptists one of the best mission trips I have ever been on right here in our own backyard.

Intracoastal Outreach is absolutely one of the most effective and well-organized groups touching people with the love of Christ in the Myrtle Beach area, as well as tourists from all over the world. They require a training class, and they allow you to choose the ministries that your group would like to accomplish.

Our group from Summerton Baptist Church participated in conducting a children’s day camp at Myrtle Beach Travel Park each day. We also had an afternoon of presenting the gospel via Frisbees on the beach, handing out “hospitality bags” to hotel and motel workers, and conducting a “block party” at a low-income multi-housing facility. Not only did we touch people with the love of Christ, we also came home with some ideas that we can incorporate in our local missions efforts.

Todd Wood, Peter Copeland, Kim Mitchell and the staff of college students worked very hard to make our experience the best, and it was. The staff provided worship services each night and assisted us with every ministry and missions activity that we participated in. I enthusiastically recommend Intracoastal Outreach for your next mission trip. Their Web site is www.intracoastaloutreach.org.

Waccamaw Baptist Association and the North American Mission Board have done well in making Intracoastal Outreach a tool to reach people for Christ from all over the world, right here in South Carolina.
