pawleys island, SC
expand your neighborhood in Pawleys Island
This island off the coast of South Carolina is something special. LeaderTreks base camp is five minutes from the water’s edge, yet in the middle of this vacation paradise is a broken community.
For many years, racial division has been ignored as the local economy has grown and expanded. Your team will serve families caught in the cycle of generational poverty through home repair projects.
At the same time, your team will partner with local ministries to bring the hope of the gospel to this special place through relational outreach opportunities.
