California Mission Adventure

Day 1

Your group will arrive in Los Angeles and take time to get settled at the hotel. The remainder of the day will be spent in orientation and preparation for the ministry days ahead. Over the course of these days, your group will eat, sleep and minister with the Dream Center, a local organization that provides hope to communities of the inner-cities. You will be housed in rooms for 6-10 persons, and your group might have the unique opportunity to live alongside other groups from across the nation. Students will be able to reach the lost through actions and spoken word, and each day will bring new challenges and opportunities to share their faith.

Days 2-3

Your ministry with the Dream Center begins this morning. You will have opportunities for hands-on service to the people of downtown Los Angeles through participation in a variety of outreach activities designed to reach as many as possible. You may find yourself working in a kitchen or serving meals, performing light construction tasks, or participating in hotel outreach. Your ministry may place you in the Metro Kidz program which was designed to motivate and mentor children who have never been outside the boundaries of their urban world. Part of your group could participate in homeless youth outreach or get involved in the Under the Bridge feeding program for the homeless of the city. These days will be filled with unique experiences that will stay with you for the rest of your life, and the possibilities are vast. One thing is certain: your group will be blessed by this short time in the City of Angels.

Day 4

Your ministry with the Dream Center concludes today. Depending on your schedule, your group may have a chance for some sightseeing before heading to the airport with the memories of a lifetime.
