EVERYDAY EXPORTS HEADED TO KANSAS CITY During the SUMMER

WHEN: Leaving Friday, July 24 and returning on Thursday, July 30, 2009

WHERE:  Kansas City

WHERE WE WILL STAY: We will stay in the gym at Overland Park Vineyard where Matt Worley is the Youth Pastor.

WHAT: We have several very exciting mission opportunities planned for this trip. We are coordinating our efforts with Matt Worley and other Kansas City churches so that we can partner with them to make it even more exciting! Matt and his junior high will participate all week.

    Our hosts will be Bryan and Lori Lopez, who are in the very early stages of a church plant called The Refuge Vineyard. Our mission will be focused on assisting them in their seedling church planting efforts as well as working with Operation Breakthrough that just happens to be in the neighborhood they have targeted for their church plant!

    Our current schedule looks like this: (subject to change of course)

    Friday, July 24:    Leave early (meet at the church at 5:00 a.m.) and arrive by 5:00 p.m. in Kansas City to the Overland Park Vineyard. One team will go get groceries and then everyone will have dinner, worship, set up a boy and girl tent in the gym, make hula hoops, and then sleep tight!

        Saturday, July 25:    Up early, fix breakfast and sack lunches, head out to do Neighborhood Clean-Up with other youth from Kansas City from 9:00-12:00 in the morning. The neighborhood projects will be in the neighborhood where the seedling church plant is and may include park beautification, planting flowers, etc. We would then have a picnic lunch.    In the afternoon we will possibly do some inside construction projects in the neighborhood. We may also break into teams with adults to minister with $20.00 per team to the homeless. Each team would be commissioned to go out and use that money however God calls them to. They may take someone to dinner, or they go to the store and make sandwiches, etc. Saturday night we may stay at a Hope Faith Ministries homeless shelter (no homeless will be there).

Sunday, July 26: Get up early, clean up, fix breakfast for the homeless that come in and then do a worship service for them. We may also play games with the kids that come for breakfast while another team fixes breakfast. The afternoon is still being planned, but would include being sure we are all ready for the week of VBS.

Monday/Tuesday/Wed: Get up early, fix and eat breakfast, make sack lunches and head for Operation Breakthrough. We will spend Mon, Tues, and Wed mornings at Operation Breakthrough from 9:00 to 11:30. Then eat lunch at a nearby park before heading to the Garrison Community Center to do a VBS with the neighborhood kids. We are able to use the VBS supplies from the North Kansas City VBS and then we will bring several of our Arts for the Nation bags of arts and crafts as well as supplies for hula hoops, etc. to supplement the North KC VBS. We also have an adorable craft project donated by Group Publishing that we will make.

Our evenings on Monday and Tuesday will include dinner and worship.

Wed night we plan to have a sit down dinner with youth from area churches and a fun night of praise and worship.

Thursday, July 30: Get up, clean up the gym, pack and head home.

HOW:    We will drive. We can save $100 per person if we have folks that are willing to take their own vans for transport so that we don't have to rent vehicles. At present we need 4 vehicles that can hold 7 each including the driver as we will be able to use the blue church van.

COST:   The cost is $300 per person. The payment due date schedule is as follows:     

Application + $100.00 due May 15, 2009

             $100.00 due June 15, 2009

WHY:    We want to partner with Bryan and Lori Lopez who are beginning a church plant called The Refuge Vineyard in downtown Kansas City.

We want to serve the new church plant in Kansas City.
