Who: 9-12 Grade (completed)
What: This outreach is in partnership with We Will Go Ministries, led by David and Amy Lancaster, who carry a vision for complete transformation of the city of Jackson, Mississippi. For the past four years, we have sent a youth team to support this inner-city ministry, which has been immensely fruitful. In addition to opportunities to pray for people and encouraging the missionaries on staff, our students will help to lead a week of their summer camp. The camp aims to give kids who attend their after-school program a safe place to spend their summer where they can encounter the Lord.
