The Experience:
The Week of Hope student mission trips offers youth a unique opportunity to:
• Offer hope to people in need and demonstrate Christ’s love
• Serve in a meaningful way without special skills or experience
• Develop close friendships with students from other churches
• Experience powerful worship and inspiring devotions
• Grow closer to Jesus
Each day of these youth missions, students will enjoy meaningful, interactive worship and devotion times, plus individual youth group devotions. Our young people will have lots of chances to spend time together and connect more deeply in their Christian faith. They'll also meet new people who will help cement the lessons learned through worship and devotion. It’s moving. It’s fun. And it’s life-changing!
The Service:
All you need is a willing heart…no special skills required! Week of Hope teen mission trips are packed with practical acts of service and love. Youth will develop meaningful friendships as they meet the spiritual, physical and emotional needs of needy children, youth and adults.
This may include:
• Providing meals to the homeless
• Tutoring poor or struggling children
• Helping host sport camps
• Organizing a home or sprucing up a dilapidated yard
• Painting a room or deep cleaning a home
• Sharing stories with a lonely elderly person in an assisted living facility
Whatever the service, the team’s acts of kindness will be rewarding, and will “mean the world” to the people they serve. This is a week that’s all about developing relationships—with the people you’re serving, with the new friends they’ll meet, with their own youth group and most importantly, with Jesus.
