What was it like in NYC 2024?
This is was a week-long missions experience that provides training and opportunities to share the gospel on the streets of NY.
The team worked on starting conversations through a story wall, evangelistic prayer, worldview surveys, and food distribution. It was a great family-friendly trip open to people of all ages.
