America is suffering right now. Millions have been affected by the hurricanes this year, as well as millions of others struggling through the recession.
Fortunately, The Church is uniquely positioned and commissioned (TM) to help those who are suffering!
That's why Mission Year is partnering with other innovative leaders to mobilize The Church and meet some acute needs in Houston, this March 9-20th.
"Mission Year is bringing together the nation to come behind Hurricanes Gustav and Ike by gutting and building houses during the day and learning from chosen mentors each night. Topics will include serving the underserved, compassion, social justice, loneliness, multi-ethnicity, creation care, culture, consumerism and community. We will be partnering with the churches of Houston to do a small part in bringing restoration to the 4 million people influenced across Houston and Galveston. We are looking for groups to join us."
The list of leaders include:
- Leroy Barber President, Mission Year
- Jamie Tworkowski Founder, To Write Love on Her Arms
- Nikki Toyama-Szeto Program Director, Urbana
- Jarrett Stevens Leader, 7:22
- Chris Heuertz Exectutive Director, Word Made Flesh
- Shane Claiborne Founder, The Simple Way
- Chris Seay Pastor, Ecclesia
- Jeff Shinabarger Founder, Gift Card Giver
