Celebrate This Brand New Day

“If we shared in Jesus’ death by being baptized, we will be raised to life with him. We know that the persons we used to be were nailed to the cross with Jesus. This was done, so that our sinful bodies would no longer be the slaves of sin. We know that sin doesn’t have power over dead people.
 
As surely as we died with Christ, we believe we will also live with him. We know that death no longer has any power over Christ. He died and was raised to life, never again to die.” – Romans 6: 5-9 (CEV)

Explore History With a Purpose

Every spring thousands of students descend upon Washington, D.C., and New York City to explore America’s history and experience unparalleled cultural diversity. Those who travel with Joshua Expeditions tour the cities and their famous sites, but each tour is also designed with a unique purpose. Not only do groups learn American history from a biblical worldview, but they also partner with local outreach organizations to impact the communities that they visit.

Recently, JE student groups had the unique opportunity to connect with local food banks in the capital area. They spent several hours working alongside agency employees, assisting with everything from sorting donations and organizing the warehouse to restocking shelves for food pantry patrons. Staff at the food banks were incredibly grateful for the students and teachers who tirelessly pitched in to achieve tasks that would have taken many additional hours to accomplish. For the students, their time in the capital was not just a history lesson but also a reminder that God has called us all to a greater purpose – to love and serve those who are most in need.

Touring Washington, D.C., students walk among the monuments that honor key figures and important events in America’s history while also learning just what the founding fathers desired for future generations. Visits to New York City introduce travelers to some of the world’s most recognizable landmarks, from the Statue of Liberty and Empire State Building to Rockefeller Center and the lights of Times Square. But perhaps the greatest lesson to learn from Washington to Wall Street is that the love of Jesus Christ can be shared in even the smallest act of service and the giving of just a few hours of time.

We invite you to join us as we return to D.C. and NYC. Contact us today to begin planning your group’s next adventure!
