"Adopt-a-Highway"
Build favorable name recognition for your congregation participating in your state or community's "Adopt-a-Highway" program. The church promises to clean up at least two miles of state road every three months. By doing so, many state departments of transportation/highways will post a sign on the highway stating that your congregation is part of the "Adopt-a-Highway" program. Also a great servant evangelism project.
BEST SUITED FOR: Any Size Congregation
WHAT'S INVOLVED?
 | One enthusiastic person. |
| Contact Department of Highways and promise to clean up at least two miles of state road every three months. Must be in an area where the Adopt-A-Highway program is used. |
| Store orange colored vests and set dates for trash pick up. Phone highway department to determine when to pick up trash bags and whether more are needed. |
| Have the congregation aware of the signs along the highway with the church's name. |
DO'S AND DON'TS
| DO......rejoice in the highway department advertising the church. |
| DON'T......use a leader who is full of enthusiasm for only a short period of time. This project goes for years. |
RESOURCES NEEDED: Three or four able dedicated people for two hours every three months.
COST: Time and enough gasoline to get to and from the church.
