As many of you know, Back Bay Mission recently celebrated 100 years of serving those in the most need on the Mississippi Gulf Coast! As part of that celebration, Back Bay Mission launched a capital campaign with one of the big goals being the construction of sustainable, portable tiny bedrooms on wheels; we are happy to share that Gulfport High School, funded by a generous grant from Harbor Freight Tools, has finally completed building the first prototype model!!! ![]()

We will be sharing more information about the tiny bedroom on wheels very, very soon but we wanted to share a little sneak peek this episode! Back Bay Mission recently got to visit Gulfport High School for us to see the prototype firsthand for the first time! While we were there, James got to chat with 2 construction technology students that helped on the build. The 2 share a little of their backstory and why they think this project was so important.
We’d like to officially welcome Friedens United Church of Christ to Back Bay Mission! Thank you to everyone for making the trip all the way from Sumneytown, PA!!! We look forward to a week of strengthening neighborhoods, seeking justice & transforming lives on the Mississippi Gulf Coast!
