International Missions
Serving Beyond Our Borders
What it is
Hayes Barton’s commitment to our neighbors extends around the world. Through international mission partnerships, our congregation helps children, young people, and families build stronger futures through education, nutrition, healthcare, entrepreneurship, and long-term empowerment. Opportunities such as ZOE Empowers, Rise Against Hunger, and Hearts & Hands for Haiti allow us to participate in work that addresses immediate needs while investing in lasting change.
Hearts & Hands for Haiti
Members of Hayes Barton sponsor children by helping provide education, nutrition, healthcare, clothing, and safe housing. A sponsorship is an investment in hope, dignity, and opportunity.
Rise Against Hunger
Rise Against Hunger meal-packing events bring together volunteers of every age to package nutritious meals that are distributed throughout the world, ideal for families and youth groups.
ZOE Empowers
Through a global network of local organizations, Zoe Empowers provides a scalable and sustainable framework in which vulnerable youth-led families are equipped to become safe and healthy, skilled for long-term success, and supported within their community to overcome the orphan crisis.
Costa Rica Missions
Costa Rica Mission Projects, led by Wil and Yolanda Bailey, connects churches in the U.S. and Costa Rica through mission teams and long-term relationships. Their Mission & Ministry Center provides childcare, student housing, free counseling through Listen with Love, and housing for volunteer teams. HBUMC provides financial support to help sustain these ministries and their ongoing work in the community.
