New York City Mission Trip

What an amazing mission trip to Brownsville, Brooklyn, New York City we had with Faith Baptist Church this week!!!

Brownsville is considered to be the most dangerous neighborhood in New York City. 

More people died from gun violence in Brownsville last year than in any other neighborhood in New York City.  

Brownsville contains the largest low-income housing project in the United States.  

In Brownsville, 9 out of 10 children will not graduate from high school.  

Our group primarily worked with an after-school program that is run by a Southern Baptist church plant.  More than 20% of the children we worked with were homeless.  Here's a short video of some of what we saw and what we did:
