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.

Relation of Opportunity to National Church and/or Long-term Goals
There are several ministries and churches in the area with one heart, goal, and purpose which is to see the city and its people transformed by the love of Jesus through Children’s ministry, homeless and recovery ministry and foster care ministry.
Additional Trip Information
Mission Trip Offered By Adventures in Missions
You want to follow Jesus’s example in the way He cared for the lost and the hurting. You want to take up Jesus’s commission to make disciples of all nations (Matthew 28) and be His witness to the ends of the earth (Acts 1).
Adventures in Missions is an interdenominational missions organization that focuses on discipleship. We emphasize prayer and relationships in our work around the world. We seek to disciple as Jesus did; our vision is that God would use us to raise up a generation of radically committed disciples of Jesus Christ.
Since we were established in 1989, we have taken over 115,000 people into the mission field, some for as short as a week and others for as long as a year or longer. We minister year-round through our ministry bases and strategic ministry partnerships. We believe that by giving people the opportunity to step outside their comfort zones and join what God is doing in other cultures and nations, lives are transformed.
