Youth or Adult Group Trip - 1 Week - 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?

What the Mission Trip Will Be Like

Ministry
Teams will be partnering with a mission to reach the lost in the ever-changing neighborhoods of NYC. They will do this by presently reaching out to the community through joining in the worship and prayer services as well as outreach activities. Some of the ministry activities the team may have the opportunity to participate in are:

Homeless Outreach: Teams may have the opportunity to serve food and pray for those in need throughout Brooklyn and Manhattan. There is a large homeless population in these areas, and many of them are friends of our ministry partners. Soup kitchens and clothing distributions are also common. Homeless outreach in these areas can open doors to meaningful conversations and prayer. 
City Cleanup: Join the local churches in serving the local community by picking up trash, serving the individuals nearby through random acts of kindness, and blessing the neighborhood around you.
Children's Ministry: Teams could have the opportunity to serve children in day camps, after school programs, or weekend activities. 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.

This trip has a hope that many will develop an interest in becoming partners and ministers in urban ministry.

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

There is not a hotel option for NY.

Travel
Most teams will fly into JFK airport. They will then jump on the metro to the stop in Brooklyn. As much as possible, we will use public transportation. This will mostly be the train system.

Some will choose to drive and drop their car off in a specific location and then take the metro to their lodging site. Available parking is rare and very expensive in the city.

Training debriefing
Once you commit and get connected with your mission coordinator, they will walk you through Pre-Trip Training WHY DO WE GO ON MISSION TRIPS? To learn how to reach people for Jesus! We practice what we learn while preparing and being on the mission trip. We then continue to do these things back home, to reach people there. Jesus wants people to spend eternity with Him. We get to participate in that. This trip will train and transform you. Time spent at the feet of Jesus results in ministry. True ministry comes from the overflow of time spent with Jesus and the leading of the Holy Spirit. It’s vital that we spend time in the presence of God! Adventures in Missions 5 Objectives: 1) Listening in Prayer You will have the opportunity to hear and discern God’s voice through prayer and scripture, and then obey the direction God gave! Everyone will have opportunity to be sensitive to the Spirit’s specific leading in personal ministry during the trip. John 10:27 “My sheep hear my voice, and I know them, and they follow Me.” 2) Make a Meaningful Relationship Led by the Holy Spirit, you will be able to build a meaningful relationship through ministry with your host, teammates, and locals within the community. Seeking out that person each day, will demonstrate the love of Jesus. John 15:12-15 “My command is this: Love each other as I have loved you. Greater love has no one than this: to lay down one’s life for one’s friends. You are my friends if you do what I command. I no longer call you servants, because a servant does not know his master’s business. Instead, I have called you friends, for everything that I learned from my Father I have made known to you.” 3) Meet a Felt Need You will be able to respond to God’s specific direction to meet a local person’s practical need! This could be prayer, making a meal, giving out a hygiene kit, or perhaps a very specific answer to a prompting by the Holy Spirit during a prayer walk, for example. Matthew 25:40 “The King will reply, 'Truly I tell you, whatever you did for one of the least of these brothers and sisters of mine, you did for me.'” 4) Share Your Faith You will share the Good News, which is more than a Gospel presentation, or rehearsed testimony, it’s your life! You will listen in prayer to know whom to share with, what to share, and how to share it. This could include a formal Gospel presentation or personal testimony. Luke 4:18-19 “The Spirit of the Lord is on me, because he has anointed me to proclaim good news to the poor. He has sent me to proclaim freedom for the prisoners and recovery of sight for the blind, to set the oppressed free, to proclaim the year of the Lord’s favor.” 5) Debrief & Respond Assisted by the Mission Leader, you will learn to identify and share (debrief) what God has done each day. Everyone will have the opportunity to respond to God in gratitude, praise, and worship. At the end of the trip, you will have a final debrief to highlight key takeaways from your trip! Hebrews 10:24-25 “And let us consider how we may spur one another on toward love and good deeds, not giving up meeting together, as some are in the habit of doing, but encouraging one another—and all the more as you see the Day approaching.”
