We're grateful for the opportunity to serve during our fall break in NYC last week. A big thank you to everyone who supported us through prayers and donations! We shared the message of Jesus at various locations like Washington Square Park, Union Square Park, Times Square, Central Park, the Roosevelt Hotel, Madison Square Park, and wherever God led us. Our teenagers fearlessly spread the good news and prayed for strangers, while our students confidently expressed their beliefs. They...

One of our students wrote this essay for a class assignment: My very first mission trip was to New York City in the summer of 2021. I had never been on a trip like this before, so I had no idea what to expect. Getting there I had already felt discouraged after having to go through the busy subway with ten people's suitcases and bags. We went to the house and all of us were exhausted. We had so many things packed into the next ten days, and I didn’t think I could do it. Starting out the...

Our first High School lock-in at Building 229 went really well!

We had a wonderful turnout for our high school small groups in August!

We would like to extend our gratitude to all those who generously contribute to the Walk Youth Group. This was written by Lauren Strickland: “We had an incredible week in San Francisco over spring break. We would like to thank everyone for making trips like this possible. Several of the students who attended this trip asked Jesus into their hearts earlier this year. It is so encouraging to watch their faith deepen as they share about Jesus and pray for others for the first time. As we got...

Bigstuf 2023: Why did God bring me to camp this week? I feel like God brought me back to camp to lean back into him. For about 3 to 4 months, I was falling astray from him. I wasn’t going to youth or church. I was not digging into scripture like I previously did. And a lot of that had to do with my community and not allowing myself to accept the forgiveness that God gives me. So overall, I believe God brought me here to lean into him and ask for and accept forgiveness! When I go back home,...
