Missions
Bethesda HSM Summer Missions Trips are set! Please pray for the students and adults going, for funds to be raised, team bonding and unity, a servant heart, and God to do wonderful things in and through each of us.
Denver, CO - July 21-30 - $600/person
Your Mission Denver Team will experience a street level missions trip that will bring about transformation in the lives of people here and in your own lives as you serve in Denver. God has sovereignly chosen to work in the world by beginning with the weak that are on the 'outside,' not the powerful who are on the 'inside.' Mission Denver seeks to take each team on a journey into God’s heart for the poor. We will engage you in urban ministry training, community development, work projects, bible clubs in low-income areas, and a poverty simulation. We desire this journey to begin a work in your own heart for those who are poor within your own community, and for you to begin to experience the great blessing of God when you are obedient to His Word.

Rockaway, New York - July 13-22 - $600/person
Superstorm Sandy devastated the east coast. Crashing into the shoreline with historic force and quickly moving into the heart of New York and New Jersey, Sandy claimed over 100 lives on the coast, destroyed thousands of homes, left millions without power and even more without hope. Your team will have the opportunity to be a part of the long-term rebuilding from Superstorm Sandy while meeting the needs of families for whom first response was not enough. Students will work on remodeling jobs such as flooring, drywall, painting, siding and roofing. But more importantly, your students will bring the message of Christ’s love to a hurting community. Next Step is dedicated to provide work projects that make a real impact on a family’s home. We are set up in our communities so that we work on projects week after week, year after year. This allows your team to get involved in a bigger work project, something that might take more than four days, but your team can be challenged to be a big part of the change. Our skilled construction staff is on-site waiting for you in one of our awesome communities. We invite you to step up to the challenge. No matter what age, no matter what skill level, we are excited to work side-by-side with you… and build.
