Missions Outreach is a service organization within Panther Springs UMC.  Meetings are held in the Sunshine class room the fourth Monday of each month at 6:30 p.m.  This group sponsors support for several Holston Conference ministries as well as needs within Panther Springs UMC.

Jubilee Project:

This is a project to help meet physical needs of adults and children in Hancock County.  The headquarters, located in Sneedville, is directed by Randy Hildebrant.  Missions Outreach works under Randy’s direction purchasing and preparing hygiene kits and medicines for Jubilee Project to distribute to individuals in need.  Last year, God gave us the means to prepare 500 hygiene kits containing one each of the following:  wash cloth, tube of toothpaste, shampoo, bar of soap, dental floss, toothbrush, toothbrush cover and 2500 tooth hygiene kits that contained one each toothpaste, toothbrush, toothbrush covers and dental floss.  We were also able to purchase $500 in medicines for the medical clinic at Jubilee.  Our church also sent clothes and approximately 75 new blankets for the winter distribution in December, 2009.

Holston United Methodist Home for Children:

Rev. Charles A. Hutchins is Vice-President of Development and Church Relations at Holston United Methodist Home for Children in Greenville, TN.  Missions Outreach promotes the Fifth Sunday offering which goes directly to funding campus ministry at Holston Home.  This ministry includes church services and religious programs which the children attend.  In 2009, there were seventeen baptisms and professions of faith.

Holston Home for Children graduated twenty youth from high school in 2009.  All of these young people were the first to graduate in each of their families.

The employees of Holston Home minister and promote the gospel of Jesus Christ to the children who live there.
