An adventure awaits you in Washington, DC!
Millions visit our nation’s capital every year to learn about this country’s history. But just beyond the monuments, a city lies crumbling.
Every day we see images of Washington, DC on TV. Leaders cast the vision for America’s future. Historians study and preserve her past. Landmarks and modern museums dot tourist maps, offering millions of citizens and foreign visitors alike a glimpse into what makes America unique.
If these sightseers looked just beyond the monuments, though, they would discover a desperate city plagued by poverty, substance abuse, and crime.
You can bring peace and promise to the people of DC.
Ministry:
While serving in the heart of our nation’s capital, you will work in an area ready for economic, relational, and spiritual reconciliation. Quite simply, they are hungry for hope.
- Community Outreach: The opportunities are unlimited for ways God can use you to impact a community for him. From conversations in parks to restoration projects, your primary ministry will be sharing your faith through relationships.
- Work Projects: There will be an opportunity for community development and home restoration projects; a way to help people maintain and improve their homes, directly impacting the community. You might work on creating a community garden and contribute to growth in sustainability and resource exposure.
- Urban Plunge: In your free time you could take a cultural plunge in downtown DC, visiting the Smithsonian, a host of national monuments, and the three houses of government, all within a few blocks! And while adventuring through the city, you’ll have the opportunity to share your faith with every tourist and resident you see.
Washington DC is in crisis. Will you help change the future for our nation’s capital?
