Prayer Sheet

As a youth group, we would appreciate your prayers for us as we serve on our mission trip this summer.  Please pray for safe travels, that the Lord would bless the work that we do as well as the people that we meet, that our group would continue to grow in community with one another, and that we would be challenged and be able to grow deeper in our love for the Lord as well as have opportunities to be His hands and feet to others.

Below is a link to an article that was written in 2007 about CSM and the work that they have done in the cities of Los Angeles and Chicago.  Although the article talks about these cities and not New York, it gives a great overview of the CSM organization and it also gives some insight into what our group may experience during our time in New York City.

Welcome to the NYC Mission Trip blog!

Welcome everyone to our Mission Trip blog!  Currently, we are still preparing and getting ready to leave for our trip which will be July 17 through July 24.  While in New York, we will be trying our best to update this site every night so you are able to get an idea of what we have been doing while serving in New York City.  Again, thank you to everyone who has supported us either financially or in prayer over the past few months.  We are excited about going to serve in New York City and getting the chance to be the hands and feet of Christ!
