Homes with a Mission is a Greenville based organization started by Bob Caldwell. We serve ministry workers and international seminary students.
We exist to provide short-term housing (up to a year) for missionaries, international students, refugees and hardship cases – with no set fee or cost.
We love serving our missionaries. We realize that the need is great for them–not only short term housing but spiritual care as well. We are blessed so much by having the missionaries here in our community.
