Worship:
Worship through Next Step Ministries is anything but dull! Through creative dramas, awesome music, hilarious mixers, and a powerful Christ-centered message, the Next Step worship team will interact on a very personal level with your students. Our message is Christ, and our aim is for your students to know him intimately, and be able to take the next step in their faith by sharing God’s love in action and word when they get back home.
Devotionals:
When you arrive on the site, you will be given a mission trip journal and spiritual growth packet with devotionals for the entire week. Every morning you will have the opportunity to read a powerful devotional and write about it in your journal. This quiet time gives you a chance to reflect on your experiences on the mission trip and how they are affecting your spiritual walk. In addition, lunch devotionals give your work group the chance to tackle important questions together over a delicious turkey and cheese sandwich.
MyStep:
While we have personally seen the amazing change that can occur in students during a one-week mission trip, we know that living that faith back home amid pressures from friends and family can be a struggle. In response, we have developed a number of ways for students to stay connected and continue to grow in their faith long after the mission trip ends. This is carried out through MyStep, an interactive, online curriculum for your students, designed to foster continual spiritual growth and develop accountability. A main component of MyStep is year-round devotionals that help take that mission trip feelingand turn it into a real commitment to Jesus Christ. In addition, MyStep allows your students to post pictures from their trips, share memories and hold each other accountable with the new commitments they have made.
