Mission Trip to Show Low, AZ

We are headed back to American Indian Christian Mission (AICM). The local students we worked with had a great experience last year, and many of them have already indicated they are looking forward to coming again.

Our primary goal is to lead these teenagers to faith in Jesus Christ and to help them grow as His disciples. We do this through teaching times, interacting and activities with the teens, but mostly by living out the gospel of Jesus Christ in tangible ways while running a summer camp for these students. These junior high or high schoolers are watching us constantly as we are living letters of Jesus Christ being read by all of them (II Cor 3:3). By living with the students during the camp week, we get to know them, and they get to know us... building relationships that will have eternal impact.

Another goal is to lead children not at the camp into a new knowledge of Jesus Christ by organizing and holding Back Yard Bible Club style gatherings daily in the area surrounding the AICM camp for teenagers.

A third goal is to form work teams who will do various projects for the camp and for residents and organizations in the ACIM camp area.

AICM is located in the white mountains of Arizona. It is cool and beautiful there. We are on the grounds of AICM, which is a boarding school during the school year. There are dormitories, a cafeteria, gymnasium, swimming pool, chapel and classrooms.  

We need people like you who will listen to people, learn from them, love them, live out the life of a disciple, and lead them to Jesus. We will interact with each teenager/child or adult on their walk with the Lord in a personal way.

Dates:  July 11-19
