Summer in the City - A Week long Mission Opportunity for Your Youth (See
attached flyer)

 

The summer of  2007 will be LINC New Hope's 5th year to host groups for our
"Summer in the City" mission and discipleship training experience.  Over the
last four years the lives of over 500 children in the New Hope community and
another 200+ week long missionaries representing 15 different churches have
been changed through "Summer in the City".  Here are some of their stories.


 "The Discipleship Training equipped our youth with the tools to boldly
share their faith and to stretch their comfort zone in serving. Book it now!
It is well worth you and your youth's time!"   Joe Werner DCE-Lord of Life
in Plano, TX 

"Our youth has found the Summer in the City Discipleship Training an
eye-opening and enjoyable experience. Our youth have returned after our week
of service knowing they have directly shared Jesus' love with children and
gained a greater understanding of a different and unique world we often
dismiss."  Mark and Amie Zellinger - son and daughter from Faith Lutheran in
Topeka, KS                                                                  

"One of the greatest challenges the modern Christian Church faces is the
process of getting young people's faith from their heads to their hearts.
Our involvement in the Summer in the City program has proved invaluable as
we strategically take our youth from a place of "knowing the Good News" to a
life of "living out and serving others with the Good News.""  Rev. Patrick
Miller - Waters Edge Lutheran in Frisco, TX

 

Mark Couser and Chris Holder - two of our DFW DCE's put this event together.
Don't overlook it!  The flyer with more info and registration is attached!
