YF NEIGHBORHOOD MISSIONAL JOURNEYS
Hands-on opportunities to unmake dividing walls in under-resourced neighborhoods.
Beyond the framework of a traditional mission or serve trip, Missional Journey teams have the opportunity to share meals, form friendships and explore challenges facing neighborhoods in poverty and worship together with those who live in the local host community. Team members help with neighborhood-led projects and enjoy local food, language and traditions through an experience of intercultural Christian faith formation.
Youthfront’s community development sites in Croc, Mexico, and Argentine (Kansas City, KS) each provide a unique journey for youth or church groups or families seeking to participate in community-led projects for lasting good. In addition for 2022, we will be offering international trips to Ciudad Acuna, a northern border town in Mexico.
Whether painting a church or mentoring children in an after-school program, Missional Journey teams seek ways to make life better for our neighbors.
