Container Outfitting
Connect your church, business, school, organization, and community to a Lifeline community when you transform a shipping container into a facility for the mission field!
By reclaiming, redesigning, and renovating a simple shipping container, you create training centers, church spaces, school classrooms, medical facilities, and much more to those who need them. You'll benefit a Lifeline church, school, or ministry partner... all while never leaving your own community!
