MAPS

So what is MAPS and Why are we MAPPERS?

MAPS stands for Mission American Placement Service  through the Assembly of God Church headquartered in Springfield, Missouri. We help with construction projects at AG churches, campgrounds, Teen Challenge Centers, and children's homes all over the US.

We are in a division called   RV MAPS. We live in our RV when we go out to projects. It may be on site of the project where there are RV hook-ups or off site at a campground nearby.

We usually go as a team, meaning 2 or 3 couples work together. While working as a team we get to know other MAPPERS and develop very close friendships. This team may go to another project together, or split apart, each joining another team at another project.

Every year there is a MAPS Convention in Carlinville IL where we are united with our extended family and catch up on where we've been and where we're heading. It is  a great time!

So how many of us wanderers are there out on the road? Surprisingly, close to 1,400!

Some are considered full time, like us. That means we live in our RV all the time.

Many full time MAPPERS spend their winters in the south, and move north in the summer, like any other "snowbird". MAPPERS, however do so with the purpose of using our God given talents to further His kingdom.
