Houston Mission Project

People need to experience living proof of a loving God all over the world – our own backyard is no exception!

This summer, the Student Ministry will be focusing on reaching neighborhoods all around the Sagemont area. We’ll spend an entire week devoted to being living proof and announcing the Good News to those nearby. Students will stay overnight at the Youth Building and go out into surrounding areas to serve our community during the day. Whether your student is in junior high or high school, they’ll be blessed enormously by serving during the Houston Mission Project June 17–21.

The cost for the week is only $100 per student.

OUR MISSION: To reach out and become “Living Proof” examples to the Sagemont Community in real and tangible ways.

Who can accept this mission? Students that have completed 7th through 12th grade.

When do we report for this mission? You need to show up to the Youth Building at 10:00 AM on Tuesday, June 17th.

When will our mission be over? You will be picked up at the Youth Building on Saturday, June 21st at Noon.

Where will we debrief and bunk? We will be debriefing and sleeping at the Youth Building each night. We STRONGLY suggest that you bring a blow-up mattress, since the floors are not that comfortable!
