THREE:18 TRIP
JUNE 22-29
Every year we travel to Arizona to serve alongside Three:18 Ministries, a ministry that serves the San Carlos Apache Native American Reservation just outside Globe, AZ. During this trip we will work on some sort of construction project for several days (in previous years, we have built homes, renovated bathrooms, constructed sheds, painted a children's home, etc.). Once we finish working for the day, we will go host a VBS-style event called Bible Club for children on the reservation. We'll teach some Bible stories, make some crafts, and play some exciting games (usually involving water balloons). This is a great opportunity for students to be exposed to the idea of missions work. We don't leave the United States, but make no mistake, there are huge cultural differences you'll learn about on this trip. For many students, this is their favorite trip of the year. |

CIYCIY (Christ in Youth) hosts amazing summer conferences for high school (MOVE) and middle school (MIX) students every year. Each event is designed to amplify Christ’s call on students’ lives to become kingdom workers. Students are challenged through intense, interactive worship, dynamic preaching, small group study, and community building. Students at CIY not only learn and worship together – they spend quality time with their church youth groups, discovering ways that God will use them to impact the world beyond the event.
Current 5th-7th graders are eligible to go to MIX at Encounter Cove June 16-19. This year's theme is "In Between" and will focus on finding Jesus in the book of Hebrews and learning how to bravely live in the here and now. In the IN BETWEEN. |
