Us programs: in the us, Legacy Mission Village (lmv) serves as a bridge to connect refugees legally resettled in the middle tn area to their local community.

Mission trips/ opportunities to serve: Legacy Mission Village (lmv) wants to create a Legacy of a generation with a heart for service both domestically and overseas. Lmv invites you to participate in our Mission trips to east africa and highly encourages families to serve together. It is our dream that most of our Mission trips be filled with family members from the same family so that families can foster the mission/vision of serving communities together.

East african programs: currently, Legacy Mission Village (lmv) programs overseas are in rwanda and uganda. In rwanda, lmv provides scholarships to orphans and vulnerable children through a partnership with the local presbyterian church. Also lmv supports several feeding programs that cater to vulnerable children and hiv+ mothers. Lmv provides mutual health insurance to support poor families and hiv/aids widows, who cannot afford it on their own. In uganda, through a partnership with kamwenge secondary/vocational school and partners in Mission, lmv is able to provide scholarships for sudanese refugees in the western uganda whom would never have gotten a chance at high school education as there are none in refugee camps. Through this partnership, lmv also provides leadership training.
