Week of Hope® — Community Service Mission Trips
Week of Hope changes lives—including yours…
Your teenagers will work with youth groups from other churches to perform practical, meaningful acts of community service for some very special people. People whose lives you’ll touch…whose names you’ll learn. And, you’ll enjoy a personal, friendly setting of less than 100 participants…ideal for getting to know everyone.
You and your young people will partner with local churches, service agencies, and homeowners. And over the five days, your help will bolster the efforts of the ongoing work in these communities.
Your young people will make new friends, create new memories, and have a wonderful time together. Most importantly, your teenagers will discover that as they focus on the needs of others…they grow closer to Jesus.
We’ll take care of the details for you so you can concentrate on your teenagers. Your young people will learn new skills, serve in important roles, and have loads of fun as you assist the elderly…tutor struggling kids…conduct a backyard Bible club…serve at a food bank…staff an activities camp for disabled children…spruce up the grounds of a financially strapped social service agency…engage children at a day camp…and improve the community in other important ways. You’ll also serve other trip participants through meal preparation, cleanup, and maintaining the lodging facility.
And when the sun goes down, you and your young people will experience faith-building, interactive programs that include Scripture, worship, video, and drama. All designed by the youth ministry experts at Group Magazine, to help you translate your teenagers’ service experience into life-changing spiritual growth. Programs are coordinated by a staff member, but you, your young people, and other participants will take the lead in sharing music (so bring your guitar and best song leader voices) and participating in other program elements.
Your mission trip will be run by four ministry-minded staff, including two highly-trained, college-age leaders.
Bring hope to a community next summer. Give your group the chance to grow closer to Jesus at a Week of Hope.
