# Mission Trip Options
|
||
This year we have three options for mission trip!
|
||
|
||
## Tulsa, Oklahoma - May 23-29 - 8th Grade and above
|
||
This trip is designed for students who are ready for the challenge of leaving their personal desires behind as they follow Jesus and help meet the needs of others through the ministry of [Praying Pelican Missions in Tulsa, OK](https://www.ppm.org/mission-trips/tulsa-oklahoma). While Tulsa’s history as an oil boomtown is well-known, many are less aware that it was also once home to one of the most vibrant black communities in the U.S. prior to the Tulsa Race Massacre in 1921 when 10,000 black people lost their homes, and an estimated 300 people died. It is considered by some to be “the single worst incident of racial violence in American history.” Now, just over 100 years later, we will be part of a renewed effort to heal deep wounds, come together as a community, and build up the local Church in Tulsa to reach across social, economic, racial, and spiritual divides. Our mission team will work alongside local church or ministry partners to meet real needs in the community, and we will also have the opportunity to learn more about Tulsa’s deep history with diversity.

||
- Estimated Support Goal of $800 - $900

## Rehoboth, New Mexico - May 27 - June 8 - Highschool only
|
||
This trip is designed for students who are ready for the challenge of leaving their personal desires behind as they follow Jesus and help meet the needs of others. This southwestern experience will find us making our home base at the 119-year-old campus of [Rehoboth Christian School](https://www.rcsnm.org/), where we will work with and serve the people in the community, making a difference in the lives of a variety of people.
|
||
|
||
As a part of the Destination Rehoboth experience, we will volunteer at various locations in meaningful service projects both on and off Rehoboth’s campus. Off-campus opportunities might include helping at the local food shelter, assisting Rehoboth families in need with home repair projects, or serving at churches on the reservation. Campus needs might include painting and minor repairs, or landscaping.
|
||
|
||
Requirements for this team are a flexible attitude and a willingness to do hands-on labor. For more information about RCS and their current projects, check out their website at [rcsnm.org](https://www.rcsnm.org/) and their Facebook page - “Rehoboth Christian School.”

||
## Puerto Escondido, Mexico - June 5 - June 14 - Highschool only
|
||
This trip is designed for students who have a desire to be used by Jesus to draw others into a relationship with Him. They will be trained to go with the Gospel as His ambassadors. We will be working with the ministry of [Roca Blanca Mission Base](https://rocablanca.org/) near Puerto Escondido, Mexico. There are a variety of ways to serve this ministry, we might lead a VBS, work in their orphanage, assist with village ministry, work on building projects, or possibly help deliver food or clothing.
|
||
|
||
Requirements for this team are a willingness and desire to share the gospel of Jesus verbally, relationally, and through physical work. For more information about Roca Blanca Mission Base check out rocablanca.org.
