Why do we go?

Our high school ministry took the NYC trip last year as well, and every one of them loved it. I'm looking forward to doing my part to share God's love in however many ways I can! In 1st Corinthians 14:36-37, we are challenged: "Or did the word of God originate with you? Or are you the only people it has reached? If anyone thinks they are a prophet or otherwise gifted by the Spirit, let them acknowledge that what I am writing to you is the Lord’s command." Acts 1:8 says, "But you will receive power when the Holy Spirit comes on you; and you will be my witnesses in Jerusalem, and in all Judea and Samaria, and to the ends of the earth.” As followers of Christ, it's our job to bring Jesus everywhere! I'm so excited about this opportunity to minister to those who God puts in our path. While many New Yorkers have been exposed to the Love of God, a large number have never experienced it. 

We will be doing lots of street work (about 6 hours a day) and also different urban projects with the Gallery Church in the Manhattan area. Depending on their needs, we will minister to as many people as we can! At our first meeting, we were told that many of last year's NYC team were greeted with lots of opposition and adversity in terms of sharing the gospel with the people of New York. However, there were some great moments too, and regardless of the hardships, a great number of seeds were planted.We are going to try and invite 30,000 people to the Gallery Church during our trip.
