The Bowery 2015

It is Two days before we depart for the Bowery Mission 2015 Trip. I am going to try and update this when time permits so that you can see a bit of what we are doing. We would like you to keep the team in prayer while we are away, for the work that we are going to be doing and our family members that are at home. For those who may not know much about the Bowery, here is a little information from there web page (http://www.bowery.org/)

Since 1879, The Bowery Mission has served homeless, hungry and poor New Yorkers. Meals, shelter, and medical care lead to residential programs that offer men and women the opportunity to transform their lives. Children get a positive first chance through summer camp, mentoring and family support. A vital part of the Lower East Side, The Bowery Mission now offers new hope to neighborhoods like Harlem and the South Bronx.


This is a wonderful chance to experience daily life in a gospel rescue mission. There are opportunities to help with meal preparation, service and cleanup; receive food donations and stock our pantry; and sort/organize the clothing donations that dress our resident students, those coming in for our shower programs, or whosoever has the need.

Your group will also likely be able to participate in chapels, outreaches to local parks and other special projects. Groups are given the opportunity to become part the life of the Mission, enjoying fellowship and working shoulder-to-shoulder with both our staff and resident students, as we serve the larger community of homeless and hungry people in New York City together.

We will be sailing out the Yarmouth Harbor on this Friday morning around 9:30am and staying in Portland that night. The next day we will be driving to New York with a stop in Boston to pick up Curt, who is flying in from Toronto on Friday night to stay with his daughter.  We are 14 strong, and we are looking forward to what God is going to do through us.

Please Pray for the Bowery 2015 Team
