ACTION

The MINNESOTA Action Team will be hosting a summer Action Trip from
July 8 - 19, 2024
"Whatever you do, do it for the glory of God." - 1 Corinthians 10:31

Student Action team volunteers from across the nation, as well as locally, will be serving primarily in St. Paul's West Side neighborhood. The team will be helping residents who are experiencing economic hardship with home repairs, as well as hosting a summer kid’s camp, serving roughly 40 kids each day.  As part of the camp, the Action team will be providing lunch for the campers each day.  In addition, the volunteers will host neighborhood socials, provide activities for residents of nursing homes, and participate in a door knocking ministry that facilitates conversations in order to bring new life in Christ to the neighborhood.  The Action volunteers will be partnering with neighborhood organizations to sort clothes, pack and distribute food, tutor neighborhood children, and help with cleaning, painting and repair projects. All of this work helps the student volunteers learn how to cooperate with God in His saving work for all people.

Action students will stay overnight at Trinity School at River Ridge.  In addition to service, they will be spending their evenings with spiritual talks, group events, and recreational activities. There is no cost to students for food and lodging.  Free will offerings appreciated!
