Greater New York Mission Trips in 2009
2/26/09

In addition to the many community, mission, & evangelistic local projects that our Youth & Young Adults lead each year in the territory of Greater New York, the Adventist Youth Ministries Department of the Greater New York Conference also plans several International Mission Trips for Young Adults (Teens & Adults are also invited). During 2009 we will be going to Jamaica, Dominican Republic, and Mexico. A small group of leaders will also be traveling to Haiti in the upcoming weeks to scout a place for a Mission Trip there as well.

A Mission Trip can change the lives of Young Adults, Teens, and Adults in your church. Mission Trips allow individuals to experience our global church, inspire them to be missionaries locally & abroad, create a team work atmosphere for young adults & youth from Greater New York and other places in the United States. Mission Trips are an excellent educational and cultural instrument, by traveling you can learn more about other people and other languages. Above all things, Mission Trips are very influential in getting its participant close to Jesus. Every trip is a relevant spiritual experience; commitments for service at the local church, leadership development, calls to ministry, formation of Christian friendships, and decisions for baptisms are experienced in each trip, every year.

If you have Teens or Young Adults who are interested in going, you must contact us and make arrangements. The AY Leaders of each church have received flyers and registration brochures to sign up for this trip.

Our Mission Trip Coordinator, Walter Harris is also more than glad to answer some questions and give you some ideas and recommendations on the different Mission Trips. His info is: Rombo33@aol.com, (646) 528-0901.
