NYC STM 2023

New York City is home to approximately 8.4 million people 19 percent of which fall under the poverty line. Though most people know about the city and what it has to offer, few understand the actual lifestyle of living in this city.

Will your team accept the call to go into the city and bring light to the hopelessness?

Ministry

Your team will be partnering with a mission to reach the lost in our ever changing neighborhood and to facilitate reaching the lost throughout the NYC area, as well, as the world. You will do this by presently reaching out to our community through joining in the worship and prayer services, as well as outreach activities. Some of the ministry activities your team may have the opportunity of participating in are:

• Food Distribution: Hand out food and pray for those in need. There is a large homeless population in Chicago and many of them are friends of the ministry. Outreach to this group can open doors to bring hope to the city.  

• City Cleanup: Join the church in serving the local community, picking up trash, serving the individuals nearby and blessing the neighborhood around you.

• Community Outreach: Minister to about 30 kids on Saturdays through an indoor sports program. There are also high school teens who attend Friday night youth events. This makes a great opportunity for building relationships and loving on the kids in the community 

• Children’s Ministry: There are 50 children in an after school program where you may have the opportunity to serve. Being able to bring a lesson, skit, and worship music will allow these kids to have the opportunity to experience the love of Jesus. 

• Prayer and Street Outreach: Prayer is an important aspect of all Adventures in Missions’ trips. We’ve seen prayer open doors for our partners that otherwise would have remained closed. Your team will have the opportunity to saturate the local parks and neighborhoods in prayer, which will help open your spiritual eyes as you listen to hear about God’s heart for the community. This also gives the team opportunities to share their faith out on the streets.

Many teams from the USA, Canada, South America and parts of Europe have served alongside this ministry, volunteering and being activated in short term missions. From this launching pad the ministry has been able to give the volunteers a vision for urban missions and strategies. This trip has a hope that many will develop an interest in becoming partners and ministers in urban ministry.

Lodging

Participants will be housed at a local church where they will have access to bathrooms, showers, and a full kitchen. Bunk beds will be provided, but bedding is not. 

There is no hotel option for NY.

Local Transportation

As much as possible, we will use public transportation. This will mostly be the train system.

Travel

Most teams will fly into JFK airport. They will then jump on the metro to the stop in Brooklyn. 

Some will choose to drive and drop their car off in a specific location and then take the metro into Brooklyn.
