SPRING BREAK MISSION TRIP RECAP:
We had two teams serve over the past week in Ottawa, Canada and New Orleans. Both of these trips resulted from our Church Partnerships – churches in other cities we’ve committed to walking alongside and partnering with for the sake of the Gospel advancing in their local contexts.
NEW ORLEANS TEAM:
Our partner, Bridgedale Community Church, is a newer church plant in a suburb outside New Orleans. Over the week, our team focused in two main areas: construction work + community outreach efforts! On the construction side, our team helped construct a deck outside their Worship Center, clear out two storage buildings to make usable ministry gathering spaces, and created an area for food delivery storage – so that Bridgedale can continue delivering food to their neighbors long after we leave.
On the community outreach side, we were able to meet 90+ of Bridgedale’s neighbors within their 1-mile radius of the church. Our youth students were a huge help in canvassing neighborhoods and leading out in boldness in conversations.
CANADA TEAM:
We sent a team of college students to Ottawa to serve with our partner, Celebration Church. While there, they encouraged the local congregation at Celebration and helped restart their church’s presence at universities in Ottawa.
Our students spent a large portion of their days engaging university students in spiritual conversations – discussing the contrast of our faith that is built upon Christ alone with people they met who held agnostic, atheistic, and other differing beliefs. Please continue to pray that the Gospel conversations that happened in Canada will bear much fruit!
We are so thankful for your prayers for the 60+ people who served over this spring break. If you haven’t yet, we’d encourage you to ask about their favorite stories from the trip and how they saw God’s faithfulness at work!
