HERE'S WHAT YOUR GROUP WILL DO
First, you live in the city -- experiencing
firsthand the sights, sounds, smells, and textures of urban
life. Our housing options are located in the heart of their respective city.
You also eat at local ethnic restaurants and discover the
delights of Salvadorian, Middle Eastern, Filipino, African-American,
and other cuisine.
Second, you learn about the city -- unique issues
and problems that city dwellers face and what God is doing to foster
and further His Kingdom in the city, through the indigenous
organizations that operate on the front lines of urban ministry.
Third, you become part of the solutions for the city -- by
offering your time, energy and sweat as you support these
indigenous "ministry sites." CSM plugs you into
a variety of hands-on ministry opportunities to ensure that
your time in the city is spent supplying substantive help
to God's people in the city.
HERE'S WHERE YOU'LL SERVE
CSM will connect your group with a wide variety
of service opportunities. For examples of CSM
ministry sites, check out the listings in our
City Profiles.
HERE'S WHAT WE DO FOR YOU
CSM supplies your group with a City
Host (full-time or intern staff) who has been trained
to handle both the logistics of your trip and help your group
process what you're experiencing. This enables you and
your leadership to serve alongside your your students.
HERE'S THE RESULTS YOU CAN EXPECT
First, your personal walk with Christ
will change. You'll be sparked to re-examine your life priorities
in light of what it means to be the hands and feet of Jesus
in a hurting world.
Second, your life back home will change.
You'll return to your home community with new eyes - sensitized
to see the ethnic diversity and pockets of poverty
that escaped your notice previously. You'll also return
home with a new vision for how your faith can impact your
home life and community at large.
Third, your future direction will change.
Many young people and adults have returned from a CSM trip and changed
their school major, job, and/or
career plans. Read what
youth leaders and students have to say about their time in the city.
