Partners in God's Mission
TeamOne.27 is a Team of individuals in America serving our family of orphans in Haiti. Together we are carrying out the love of Christ as described in James 1.27 "Pure and genuine religion in the sight of God the Father means caring for orphans and widows in their distress and refusing to let the world corrupt you."
Dwell feels extremely blessed to be a part of this Team. Our partnership is born from a friendship with Bryn Gillette whose heart for this mission has inspired us to do everything in our power to see the kingdom come for these orphans in Haiti.

Back in August of 2008 we brought a dinner to the shelter. This was not our first time providing a meal, but God did something that night that has continued to this day. Friendships were sparked with some of the people at the Shelter and we soon began cultivating friendships and becoming a part of their community as they became a part of ours. God showed us two things - their need for us and our need for them. We continue to hang with our friends at the shelter on the last Friday of every month, bringing a meal and having encouraging conversations. Dwell also contributes monthly support to the Shelter.

Vermont's largest university - The University of Vermont - is situated at the top of Burlington's main st. It is here that dwellers Gabe and Amanda McGann are a part of a campus ministry called Lifelines. Lifelines uses the outdoors to help people grow in relationship with God, in relationships with each other, in character, and in leadership. The McGann's are an integral part of Dwell's mission in Burlington to reach out to young folks in our city. Their passion for all things outdoors has called them to this unique ministry and we are so excited to be a part of what they are doing at UVM.

Our friends Ben and Sarah Courtemanche lead the Navigators campus ministry, also located at UVM. Ben and Sarah seek to show college students the love of Jesus by way of deep, authentic relationships, and we support them monthly in confidence that they are making a difference on campus, one heart at a time.
