Resort/Leisure Ministry
People love to travel. $759 billion is spent annual on travel in the U.S. while Canada reports annual tourism expenditures to reach $29.7 billion. People love to visit resorts for skiing, beaches, parks, golf courses, campgrounds, marinas, festivals, theme parks, and simple relaxation. Many of these places offer opportunities for existing churches to reach their communities and to begin new churches. People who travel are often open to hearing the gospel in a relaxed friendly environment.
In addition to visitors, millions of people are employed or volunteer at vacationing locations. These employees and volunteers are either seasonal or permanent workers who live in the resort community and/or in the surrounding community. An outreach to the needs of resort employees is often needed and well received.
