Mission Jamaica provides a way for us to put our faith into action by loving and serving our neighbors as Jesus taught us through His love and service to others. The Mission Jamaica trip combines service projects with time for reflection and spiritual rest. Experience an international mission field that is close to home, yet far enough away to immerse yourself in another culture.

Down Home
Help those marginalized in our community. Call Kirstin at 701.212.7576 to get involved or ask question.
What? Down Home is looking to grow a prayer team that would intercede on behalf of the needs of Down Home and the community. We realize this team may start out small and grow over time. Down Home is a non-profit that decorates and fully furnishes the homes of families who are transitioning from homelessness to permanent housing. We stay in contact with them for at least their first year to help with the transition in any way we can.
Why? God has called us to this mission of helping families who are transitioning from homelessness to permanent housing and we realize this is a big calling. We are seeking God’s vision for Down Home and desire to be in His will. We are requesting God to multiply the little that we bring Him (time, treasure, talent) to accomplish big things in the lives of His children in need (Luke 9:16).
Who? Prayer Warriors. Anyone who is willing to commit to weekly prayer for Down Home and the community needs. People whose schedule allow them to meet at Down Home Wednesday mornings.
Legacy Children’s Foundation
The students of Legacy Children’s Foundation (anchoring motivated, diverse students in education and people for successful futures) invite you to help them serve and show kindness to Fargo neighbors who are in need of food or children who need a freshly repaired bike.
Your help on Thursdays from 4:30-6:30pm at their north Fargo location would be greatly appreciated. Groups of two adults blend well with small group service-learning projects in the food pantry and bike shop. Can’t help on Thursdays? There are other opportunities during the week and weekend!
