YOUTH MISSION OPPORTUNITY; WJ DISASTER ACADEMY


YOUTH MISSION SERVICE OPPORTUNITY

Mission Service Project (MSP) is first and foremost a youth ministry sharing God's unconditional love in His mission in the world.  It is often a life changing experience for youth and adults alike, no matter how many times they may have attended MSP in the past.  Over the past years, MSP has been a wonderful "home repair" ministry forming relations with the families receiving assistance and each other.  Today, MSP has grown into an even more intentional relation building mission experience, joining in God's mission in our communities in new ways.  The experience is now available to a wider range of gifts of service brought by those who come to serve.  We have also extended the age group for the time of the mission. 

It is our prayer that those who come to serve are dedicated not only to sharing their God-given gifts but also to receiving the gifts of those they come to serve.

The dates for MSP 2015 are
 Sunday - Friday, June 14 - 19, 2015
