This past week (June 22-29) we took a group of amazing selfless hardworking teenagers on a missions trip to our home town. We want to revolutionize the way we see missions. When most people here the term “Missions trip” we usually think of going to Africa or India or Asia. I think going to all those places to serve people and spread the love of Christ is amazing but God really put in on our heart to meet the needs right here in our own city, and that is exactly what we did ……
Here is an overview of what we did and the ministries we worked with
Monday – Worked with Helping Hands of Rockwall
Our team was split into groups. Some worked in the food pantry, Some worked in the thrifts store sorting clothes, Cleaning donations and some were in the back taking the donations as they came in
Tuesday – We worked with Care Center Ministries in Dallas
This first day with Care center we worked with an outreach they have called “The Basket” They feed over 100 families 2x per week and for some of the families this it he only food they get. We prepared for the basket which takes place on Wednesdays We organized food and prepared the boxes to be giving out the next day
In the Evening we wen to a nursing home in Garland and brought dessert to the Senior Citizens. We also hung out and played bingo with them
Wednesday – We continued to work with Care Center Ministries. On this day the families came to get the food from the basket. Half our group mingled with the people while the others walked to the food to the cars and prayed for the people
Wednesday night we had our summer kickoff party at Paradigm
Thursday – This was our final day working with Care Center Ministries. We went to local apartment compelxes that they have built relationships with and went door to door telling the people about the church and praying for any needs they had
