Connecting The Local Church On A Global Level

 PPM exists to build up, encourage, and assist the local Church in serving and reaching theircommunities for Christ.

 As an interdenominational ministry, we seek to celebrate the variety of the Church while leveraging what binds us together as followers of Jesus Christ.

 There is no more powerful example of God’s love to a community than when His people come together to serve and advance the Gospel, all in the name of Jesus

 

Genuine Partnerships

We believe in the local Church. This is our mission base. Each of our teams are partnered alongside local ministries to encourage and assist them in serving their communities during their mission trip.

 

Long-Term Relationships.

Our heart is to be wholly invested in the communities we serve. Your team will have the opportunity to build lasting relationships on your mission trip with local churches and ministries by serving alongside them throughout the week.

 

Sustainable Ministry

We remain under the authority and direction of the local Church to ensure each mission trip has a lasting impact. Our fully customized approach aligns your team’s gifts with the needs and initiatives of local ministries.

 

Houston, TX Mission Trips

Though Houston has one of the largest populations of any city in the US, serving there has the feel of a much smaller city. A truly global city paired with laid-back Southern hospitality and warmth makes Houston an ideal location for your next mission trip.

 

When Hurricane Harvey hit the area in 2017, several churches in the area that had previously sent teams through PPM on mission trips reached out for help, asking us to come to serve in their communities to address the unprecedented damage and decimation. In coming alongside these churches and communities in the wake of the storm, we found true partners and amazing ministry that is continuing long after the most pressing storm recovery needs.

 

PPM partners in Houston are passionate about their communities and are inviting teams to partner with them in a multitude of ways. Teams that serve in Houston on a mission trip can engage in kids ministry, work with the homeless, food distribution, service projects, prayer outreach, and much more.

One Way Youth Ministry is called to go be the Light by Teaching the WORD, by Sharing the Gospel to all, and by Sharing the Love of God the way God Loves us. We do this by answering the call to “GO” as we receive power when the Holy Spirit has come upon us, and we will be his witnesses in Jerusalem and in all Judea and Samaria, and to the end of the earth including in our own backyard and in our local community.

We do this by Building Friendships, which turn into Relationships, which turns into Trust so we can then Share the Love of God. This allows us to Share His message of the Gift that is waiting for each and every one of us to have eternal life with God as well as make Disciples who will then GO and make more Disciple to Grow the Kingdom of our Father in Heaven.

One Way Youth Ministry stops at No Borders or Boundaries to Share what God calls us to do …” GO and Be the Light as we Share the Gospel to those who do not know our Father as their Personnel Savior

One Way Youth Ministry has been blessed to travel to Big Laurel Ky, Assateague Island VA, Pulaski VA, Atlantic City NJ, Somers Point NJ, Pine Grove PA, Allentown PA, Fayette County WV, New Mexico, Hagerstown Md, Mandeville Jamaica, and in our local community in Chambersburg PA. for a total of 27 mission trips.

One Way Youth Ministry Purpose to go on mission trips: In same way, let your light shine before others, so that[ they may see your good works and give glory to your Father who is in heaven (Matthew 5:16) and Jesus came and said to them, “All authority in heaven and on earth has been given to me. Go therefore and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, 20 teaching them to observe all that I have commanded you. And behold, I am with you always, to the end of the age.” (Matthew 28:18-20)

 
Why is it important for Students to go on Mission trips?
 
1.Mission Trips Bring Youth Groups Together.
If you’ve ever been on a weekend student retreat, you know how that experience can build community. Teenagers ride together, play together, eat together, stay up late together, get up tired together… “Together” is a powerful word. Think of “together” as glue – the more broadly it’s spread, the better a youth group will bond. Mission trips apply “together” to students’ sense of adventure, their desire serve, their relationship with God, their daily experiences, their broken comfort zones and much more (including these things below!).
 
2 Mission Trips Broaden Perspectives.
Teenagers might be more connected than ever with what’s happening around the world, but have they seen what it’s like to live below the poverty line in small-town America? Or experienced the energy and exhaustion of inner-city living? Or felt the heartbeat of Native America beaten across the taut surface of a drum? Pulling teenagers from their typical context helps them understand that the world is larger that their daily lives would have them believe. By beginning to understand another setting, their own context comes into truer focus.
 
3.Mission Trips Challenge Comfort Zones.
Beyond broadening perspectives, mission trips demand that teenagers participate. Painting a house, playing with kids, serving a meal, sleeping on an air mattress, experiencing a new culture – these are a few examples of ways comfort zones are crossed. But when coupled with intentional processing and worship, mission trips have the unique ability to challenge students’ comfortable perceptions of God and the world. Faith steps beyond the doors of the church and demands to be applied to real-world living.  
 
4.Mission Trips Empower Students.
God is doing incredible work through the Church. The energy, authenticity, fresh perspective and passion teenagers bring are a vibrant part of that church. Done well, mission trips help students take ownership and initiative. Eyes are opened. Passions are ignited. Possibilities are exposed. Pursuits begin. Mission trips help teenagers see what they are capable of. But first, the Church chooses to believe in the incredible opportunity of being a teenager – not a possibility to be met “someday,” but a boiling potential just waiting to overflow.
 
5.Mission Trips Create Sacred Space.
The Israelites used to build monuments by throwing together big piles of rocks to point at later and say, “That signifies God’s faithfulness in our nation.” For many teenagers, mission trips represent a time and a place when God worked in and through their lives. More than a mere mountain-top high, these sacred spaces both anchor students in their faith and propel them forward in their relationship with God. Even in times of trouble, teenagers often point toward their mission trip experience and say, “That signifies God’s faithfulness in my life.”

KENTUCKY MISSION TRIP MEETING
Sunday May 23rd  in the Youth Center
at 11:00am with Lunch Provided.
Parents invited also.
 
As Christians we are to be witnesses for Jesus Christ and we are called to proclaim this truth to all people . . . not only here in our own backyard, but to the uttermost parts of the world. As a Youth Group, we want to work hard at “Building Youth 4 Christ by being Spiritually Alive, United Together, Being the Light of Christ and to help those around us discover Jesus Christ. 
 
This mission trip will give you the opportunity to do just that. We are planning to travel to Laurel Missions in Big Laure Kentucky There is tremendous potential to make an amazing difference in the people we come in contact with, and we will be blessed abundantly in the process as well. 
 

 Our ministry during this trip will be serving and working alongside Laurel Missions in Big Laure Kentucky with Nathan & Lindsey Boggs              

       Together we will make a positive difference for Jesus Christ! 
 

     The 2021 Laurel Mission Trip will take place over the dates of

July 12th 2021 – July 17th, 2021

and the cost of this year’s trip is $300 per person. Seems like a lot of money, but we are hopeful that the people of our church here at Salem UB, Family & Friends will give sacrificially in order to make this trip a reality.  We will, however, require everyone who goes to make a $100 investment toward the cost of this trip to be paid by April 7th, 2021

(Financial aid could be available upon request)

 

     We are very Thankful that each and every one of you feel as though God has called each one of you in this direction. Please complete the attached sheets and return them to Daryl “Slugg” Kissinger by

 Wednesday March 17th, 2021. This trip is open to everyone involved in One Way Youth Ministry (6th to 12th grade). We’re excited about being used by God in Kentucky.
