A team of 21 students, 3 faculty members, and one student teacher traveled to New York City on Monday, March 28 on a missions trip which focused on serving the homeless.
On the first full day of their trip, the team partnered with Salt & Sea Missions at a local church. Several homeless people were in attendance and the missions team got the opportunity to lead worship and share testimonies while Pastor Rowell gave a sermon. Afterwards, they shared lunch with those who attended the service. They also fed the homeless the next day in Bronx, New York by assisting a relief bus which travels with soup, bread, hygiene kits, socks, and more. The team handed out food and prayed for all they came in contact with that day.
Serving food was not the only way the NYC team helped the homeless. On Thursday, they partnered with World Vision and helped unpackage men’s shirts which were given to homeless people for job interviews.
In addition to serving the homeless, the team also went to an after-school program for children of immigrant parents to help them with their homework.
