High School LCMC Mission Trip

THE MISSION:

The beauty and assets of Colorado Springs are clear. However, amongst this beautiful city are individuals struggling with poverty, homelessness and a lack of hope. The United Way reports that over the last three years, nearly every statistic on homelessness in the Springs has been on the rise. Last year alone, individuals in a state of homelessness was up nearly 6% with youth homeless up 7%. Homelessness is just one symptom of poverty in the community and in the shadows of a great town many others are struggling with day-to-day living.

The good news: there are many amazing churches and community organizations on the rise in Colorado Springs. Together with Next Step & Lutheran Congregations in Mission For Christ Youth from all over the country our teams will participate in building projects for families in transitional housing, outreach events to love on the community, tangible service projects to meet the food and shelter needs of individuals living in homelessness and many opportunities to share the Gospel to families that find themselves on hard times. It is our desire to support, dignify and encourage sustainable growth in this great city. Along the way we will Worship, Fellowship, Study God’s Word, and Grow In Christ together.
