Focus

Join us for a mission trip full of cross-cultural training and experiences, as well as gospel-sowing among unreached people groups in NYC!

The training program is designed to grow a vision in high schoolers for reaching the nations with the Gospel. Participants learn about God’s heart for the unreached, receive basic training in cross-cultural evangelism techniques, and go into local communities looking for “People of Peace” who are open to studying the Bible or learning more about Jesus. By becoming more comfortable in sharing the Gospel among the unreached people groups of New York City, participants leave with a strong foundation to share the Gospel in their communities.
 
This trip will have opportunities to:

• Engage in street conversations.
• Welcome and engage multiple unreached cultures.
• Learn and grow in sharing the Gospel relationally.

Trip Schedule

A typical outreach day will include training and prayer in the morning, followed by lunch, and evangelism in the afternoon/evening. Because of the nature of missions, scheduled activities may shift as different ministry opportunities arise.

Sample Daily Schedule:

• Breakfast at the housing dorm
• Training
• Lunch
• Neighborhood Ministry
• Dinner
• Team debrief​

Logistics

The team will fly into NYC and stay at a local ministry center that is specifically used for housing mission teams. Rooms will be gender specific. Team members will walk a lot as well as take public transportation (subway or buses) to get around the city. The team will always be in groups and accompanied by an adult leader. Students will never be alone and will travel together to most locations.

Trip Trainings

Our goal is to send teams that are a blessing to our partners which means sending a team that is fully prepared when they reach their destination. To ensure our teams are ready, we have teams go through four mandatory trainings. Trainings are designed to help each participant grow as a disciple of Jesus, be fully prepared for your time on the field, get to know your team before travel, and identify your role in fulfilling the Great Commission even after the trip is over. There will be 4 mandatory trainings before the trip. The dates will be listed in your Service Reef profile under meetings once your application is approved. Trainings are normally held on Sunday afternoons. If you have to miss a training because of a prior commitment or illness, you will need to connect with your Team Leader to review all the material you missed. Missing more than one training is grounds for removal from the team. 

Support Raising

All trip participants are encouraged to support raise for their trip. It is an opportunity to see how God provides. Global Outreach will be hosting an optional in-person support-raising training on March 2nd from 2:30pm-4:30pm. We will also provide you with a support-raising packet to help walk you through the process.
