About Mission Trip 2023

Hello friends!  MARK YOUR CALENDARS!  We are so excited to announce plans for our Summer Mission Trip 2023!  You are receiving this email information because your student(s) is eligible to participate in our upcoming 2023 Summer Mission Trip to Kansas City, Missouri from June 18-24 in partnership with Next Step Ministries. 

We hope you will prayerfully consider allowing your student(s) to travel with us and participate in this life-changing ministry experience. Your student(s) will have the opportunity to minister through construction projects, community outreach, build friendships with other church’s, and see firsthand how poverty affects an entire community. For many students, Mission Trip becomes a new beginning in their spiritual journey. 

Settling in the 1800’s for its rivers, Kansas City has boomed into a wonderfully unique city. offering something for everyone with rich history, world class food, and a vibrant diverse community! Like any community, Kansas City has had its share of historical struggles to overcome. There are many in the city who need physical assistance as they experience poverty and homelessness. Next Step Ministries began its partnership with this community in 2022, by joining forces with local organizations and ministries to help meet the needs of this community and share the love and hope that only Christ can bring. As some of our friends here say, “We believe this transformation will be evidenced in noticeable decreased crime, neighbor helping neighbor, a sense of morality and a renewed vibrancy in churches to engage the community with compassion, preach the gospel and disciple believers toward maturity in Christ.” This is no longer just a hope – it is becoming reality. Be part of bringing that hope to this community and join us next summer in Kansas City!
