Winter Outreach

Winter International Outreach

If you have ten days to two weeks and a desire to impact the world for Jesus, Priority 1 has a place for you! Winter outreach teams consist of Christ-followers who will serve with career missionaries, established ministries, and national Christian brothers and sisters. Teams may be involved doing building projects and/or outreach ministries among churches, schools and church camps. Although many teams in the past have primarily been work teams, we would like future teams to include more ministry and evangelism opportunities.

Teams can consist of participants from all over North America, including: individuals (18 or older); families; retirees; youth and adult leaders; and/or youth leaders bringing a small group of their own youth. Participants, upon returning from these trips, have shared that while they felt they had touched the lives of the people to whom they went, their own lives were more deeply impacted by their experiences. Priority 1 has observed that when team members return home, they have been a greater asset to their church, especially their mission’s committees and/or youth groups. Priority 1 feels the Lord is using these teams to help fulfill His call to global evangelism in a number of ways: by teams having an eternal impact on lives around the world; the hearts of team members, themselves, being changed as they see first-hand and experience the needs of people around the world; and, team members who, through these opportunities, sense a definite and clear call from God to become more personally involved in career ministry and missions. We feel God is raising an army of Christ-followers who will respond positively to His call until every people-group has heard the gospel. Then, Jesus Christ will return!

Priority 1 Ministries is an approved 501(c)(3) non-profit ministry and all support donations are tax-deductible.

November 7-15

The team will fly to Tegucigalpa where there will be a time of orientation and fellowship. This team will help the Colonia Kennedy church to build classroom on the second floor behind the platform. The church just finished the walls in the front of the worship area.  There was talk of putting drywall in the classroom but this could change. They will be putting in a ceiling in the classrooms also.  Painting the classroom could be part of the work of the team, it all depends on how far the church has the project when the team arrives.
