United States Projects

We are looking for individuals to help us as we seek to build a disciple making movement on the campus at the University of Alaska Anchorage. Students in this area tend to be active, enjoy outdoor activities, and are largely unchurched. Many of the students we meet are willing to have spiritual conversations though they do not have much of an understanding of Christianity. We are looking for individuals who are motivated and willing to form relationships, take initiative, and have had experience with outreach programs (monthly lunches, kick off events, social activities, etc.), able to articulate the gospel, willing to learn how to make disciples and lead small groups. We will spend a lot of time outdoors and in coffee shops meeting students and young adults where they are throughout the summer. Join us for the adventure of a lifetime in the Last Frontier!

Special requirements: Students that have a love for university students and the outdoors.

The collegiate missionaries will coach and lead Graffiti Sports Camps utilizing help from visiting mission teams each week. Collegiate missionaries must love basketball, football, dance, and working with children from first grade through middle/high school. Camp is from 9 am-2 pm. After lunch each day missionaries would work with teams providing arts & crafts and an indoor board game time. Collegiate missionaries must be competent and excited about sharing the Gospel with children and helping them to know Jesus as their Savior.

Special requirements: Students that serve on this project need to understand that many of the children and others that they will be serving among have come from very difficult situations.

Are you fluent in ASL, looking to improve your ASL skills, or do you love working with the Deaf community and kids? The Deaf Camp, a ministry of Brentwood Baptist Church, offers opportunities to work with young children to teenagers, with Deaf and hearing staff, and interact with the Deaf community, Deaf and hard-of-hearing campers, and their families. Two months of Deaf Camp will provide you the benefit of experience working with the Deaf community and children, ASL receptive and expressive skills, and leadership skills. For students to thrive while working with us, they will need at least moderate ASL skills, experience working with children or summer day camps, a heart for Deaf youth to know Christ, flexibility to be indoors or outdoors, and the ability to lead youth activities and classes.

Special requirements: Students need to have at least moderate ASL skills and will complete a zoom interview with field leaders to determine ASL ability.

Called America’s first major inland city and America’s original Boomtown, Cincinnati was established along the Ohio River. In the early 19th century, people arrived on paddle wheelers after the War of 1812 and decided to make this place their home. America’s first Boomtown may soon become its next. Its urban areas are being revitalized. New, forward-thinking transportation policies are being instituted. Massive projects like The Banks, Queen City Square and the Central Riverfront Park are redefining the cityscape. Yet despite its impressive potential, followers of Jesus Christ are praying that Cincinnati will also experience a gospel boom. Just 13.7 percent of the 2 million residents in the metro area are affiliated with an evangelical church, and more than half of the city’s residents do not affiliate with a religion of any kind. Join the North American Mission Board’s GENSEND Summer Team and serve in Cincinnati where you will learn to live life on mission with a team of students as you explore your calling and serve alongside church planters and missionaries in the Greater Cincinnati area. In this immersive exploration, you will learn mission principles and discover what it means to live intentionally in community while sharing the Gospel.

Students serving at MCH will be immersed in urban ministry, living and working in one of the most diverse cities in America! You will be trained to share your faith, disciple others, and engage in personal spiritual disciplines. It is our desire to help you grow as a disciple of Christ and to equip you for mission work long after your time with us is through. Each week, missionaries will have multiple opportunities to teach and serve kids, teens, seniors, the homeless, adults, and the homebound. You will also lead weekly visiting youth groups in prayer walking and serving with us. Sundays are extra special as you attend different types of churches in Houston, with some of them having various ethnicities! You will develop as a leader and a disciple, and your vision for missions will grow exponentially.

Our centers are located in under-resourced, urban areas in the inner city of Houston. Our neighbors are primarily Hispanic and 96-98% of the school population are classified as living in poverty, as defined by our government.
Special requirements: Spanish is not required, but helpful. Students that serve on this project will need to have compassion for ‘the least of these.’

Huntington is a small, urban environment surrounded by a larger rural community. New Life Ministries (NLM) seeks to engage the least of these in the community through a variety of ministry opportunities. Students who serve alongside NLM can be expected to learn more about compassion ministry in inner city settings. Some of the opportunities this team will engage in include helping with the meal ministry (cooking, serving, cleaning, etc.), helping organize and conduct outreach events (VBS, block parties, canvassing, etc.), men’s and women’s ministries, and physical labor (painting, landscaping, etc.).

Mosaic City Church is a church plant located in Huntsville, Alabama with many exciting opportunities. Huntsville is home of NASA, Redstone Arsenal, and the second largest research park in the country. Huntsville is the largest city in Alabama and draws in people from all over the world. It is a very diverse community much different from any other city in the state. Mosaic has a well-established presence in the community and focuses on reaching unreached populations outside of the four walls of the church building. Missionaries will help further those connections through outreach efforts and events. We will ask missionaries to help prepare for and assist with Camp Mosaic for our kids and teens at a local camp which will include many kids from our community. Mosaic meets in a sister church building that is in need of renovations and some help is needed around the building as well.

Special requirements: Students need to come with a love for children and community and a desire to learn more about church planting.

Eagles’ Wings exists to help vulnerable youth develop stable relationships with their family, community, and Creator through a free summer camp experience. Student missionaries will share Christ’s story with vulnerable, at-risk young people at a free summer camp. You will use adventure recreation, low-high ropes, archery, horsemanship, your God-given talents and skills, as well as numerous other activities to build cross-cultural relationships with the campers. Campers will learn sportsmanship and communication skills and begin to build lasting relationships with each other, with you, and in many cases, with God. During daily devotionals, small groups, games, and everyday conversation, God will open doors for you to share His gospel. Your gifts may also be used on Sundays at local churches that have a heart for the children we serve. All staff and missionaries will meet together each week to study God’s word. You will be challenged to learn about the sufficiency of scripture, the call to holiness, living out the gospel, and discipling the nations.

Special requirements: Students that serve on this project need to understand that many of those they will be serving among have come from very difficult situations.

Global migration is not a random event of history, but a movement of people that God has ordained. Even as God allows people to move around the globe, He prepares His Church to welcome them and share the Good News of Jesus with them. We will teach you skills that are practiced by cross cultural missionaries around the world (broad Gospel seed sowing, etc.). You will live out these skills with your new neighbors. Come and serve alongside missions personnel seeking to engage Unreached, Unengaged Peoples in the US! Students on this team will also help host short term volunteer teams that come to engage Central Asian people.

Special requirements: Students that serve on this project need to know that you will be serving among unreached and unengaged peoples from Central Asia. This will be a pioneer work. You must be bold and a self-starter.

The Metro New York Baptist Association’s purpose is to help Equip Local Churches for Global Impact in NYC and beyond. For years a huge part of us accomplishing that goal has been our Multiply Program. Multiply’s heart is to connect student missionaries to local churches in the city to see the students grow in their walk with the Lord through community and discipleship. We want to encourage students to learn to listen for God’s plan for their life and equip them to live that out, focused on living missionally regardless of what God calls them to after graduation. Our local churches will spend their summer including the student missionaries in their ministries, introducing them to urban missions and allowing missionaries to be a part of their outreaches, services, etc., while also discipling the students weekly in their walk. We have seen God grow students in incredible ways through this program, and we believe that it teaches and challenges them to go home and live missionally on their campus and in their daily lives.

New York City is a mega-city, home to over 8 million people that represent every nation around the globe. That obviously makes NYC a challenging mission field, but our desire is to see New York as the early church saw the Near-East, and focus on growing leaders by neighborhood, and building collaboration within our churches throughout the city. In a city as transient, post-Christian, and challenging as New York, we believe that this is the only way to truly impact the lives of every person here!

Special requirements: Students that serve on this project will be assigned to a local church to serve using their gifts and passions whether that’s sports/art, children, internationals, etc.

Over 100,000 West African Muslims live throughout the five boroughs of New York City and many have never personally met a Christian or even had the complete Bible in their own language. The main project is to search out and discover the boundaries in their communities and find people of peace, people who desire to hear the gospel. We need more laborers to work alongside us as we figure out where West Africans are being sent across the five boroughs. Activities include: teaching English classes; working with asylum seekers; prayer walks; visiting mosques; shops and homes; homeless ministry; and developing lasting relationships to lead into Bible studies.

The main locations will include Bronx, Manhattan, Brooklyn and parts of Queens. The number of West African Muslims has grown substantially since 2023 due to thousands of immigrants coming into the city. Some come here just to get a job and send money back home to help support their families. Others come with their families to find more opportunities for wealth and education. Each of those coming are seen as providers for their communities back in West Africa and are a gateway into a community that has not heard the Gospel.

Special requirements: Students that serve on this project need to know that you will be serving among unreached and unengaged peoples from West Africa. This will be a pioneer work. You must be bold and a self-starter.

You could spend 10’s of thousands of dollars and hours upon hours flying to Saudi Arabia, China, Japan, Colombia, and Russia to share the gospel, or you could meet students from these countries and more in Newark, DE and build relationships for the summer. Our campus of 24,000 undergraduates also has an English Language program where students come from around the world to study English. You will live in an apartment complex on campus that is full of international students, and you will likely have an international roommate. Over the summer, you will work to build relationships with International students with the intention of sharing the gospel and starting Evangelistic Bible Studies. You will do life with them and visit local parks, beaches, and cities like Philadelphia, Washington D.C., or New York City.

Camp Baldwin is a faith-based overnight camping ministry for children and youth in grades K-12. You will receive one week of intensive training upon arrival. You will be immersed in camping ministry, which will include leading Bible studies for various age groups and behind-the-scenes work at the mission. You will also assist with VBS, community ministries, and weekend work projects. On weekends, there will be time for sightseeing, fellowship, Bible study, and helping with youth and children’s Sunday School. The emphasis for our counselors is spiritual growth and servant leadership.

Special requirements: Students that serve on this project will need to come expecting to serve on camp staff – knowing that will include ministry to campers, but also all of the background for camp (cooking, cleaning, etc.)

The current marketing campaign for Salt Lake City, Utah, is “different by nature.” A play on the natural beauty of world-class ski slopes and national parks, it also speaks to the city’s past and present. Founded in 1847 by Brigham Young, a leader in the Latter-day Saints movement, Salt Lake City is the world headquarters for The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. In recent years, it has also become a major metropolitan area and home to a growing population with a diverse range of beliefs.

“Though it is hard for many people to believe there is a place in the United States that is, basically, unreached, Salt Lake City fits that description,” said Salt Lake Send City missionary Travis Kerns. “Although The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints controls much of the region, God has continually worked throughout the history of redemption through a small remnant.”

Salt Lake has only one Southern Baptist church to every 40,460 people. And the number of evangelical Christians in the metro area is estimated to be 2.2 percent. Join the North American Mission Board’s GENSEND Summer Team and serve in Salt Lake City where you will learn to live life on mission with a team of students as you explore your calling and serve alongside church planters and missionaries in the Greater Phoenix area. In this immersive exploration, you will learn mission principles and discover what it means to live intentionally in community while sharing the Gospel.

Serve as a Summer Mentor at Wears Valley Ranch (WVR)! Mentoring at WVR is life-on-life ministry in the lives of children and students from crisis situations.
