LeTourneau University students will serve in outreach ministries during the 2020 Spring Break March 9-13 in a variety of ministries across the U.S. and in Mexico.
About 100 students are leaving for Spring Break Mission Trips Friday to participate in the Great Commission to go into the world and encourage others to pray for salvation as they plant seeds of faith. Some of the places they will serve include:
Agape, San Luis Potosi, Mexico
LETU students will experience another culture as they partner with Centro Cristiano Agape, a ministry that has hosted LETU students since as far back as 1987. The trip gives students the chance to experience another culture and become like family with neighboring brothers and sisters following Jesus in their own language, culture, and context. LETU students will stay with local Christian families and work on needed construction projects and outreach in partnership with the church staff.
Beach Reach, South Padre Island, Texas
LETU students will provide a Christian witness to college students from other universities by sharing the gospel as they provide safe rides and serve free pancake breakfasts to students who drink alcohol and party all night. The ministry in the past has led to many students rededicating their lives to Christ.
Camp Blessing, Texas
LETU students will volunteer at Camp Blessing, which exists to show the hope of Jesus Christ to those with special needs, their caregivers, and the volunteers who serve them in a barrier-free camp environment emphasizing love, acceptance and fun. Students going on this trip will get to work as one-on-one counselors for campers for the entire camp duration.
LightSys Technology Services, Colorado
LETU students using their computer and information technology skills will volunteer with LightSys, which serves missionaries and ministry organizations through providing technical support to them out in the mission field.
MMS Aviation, Ohio
LETU students interested in aviation maintenance will be directly involved in assisting with maintenance, modification, and repair of missionary aircraft at MMS Aviation.
SonSet Solutions, Indiana
LETU students interested in computer science, electrical or mechanical engineering will also serve in hands-on projects with SonSet Solutions, which provides missionary organizations with technical support, low-cost radio broadcasting equipment, and other forms of custom engineered products exclusively for use by Christian missionaries to spread the gospel around the world. Fulltime missionary engineers at SonSet have set aside a variety of necessary technical projects which LETU students will assist them with.
Tri-Grace Ministries, Utah
LETU students also will partner with a college ministry engaging students in evangelical outreach, sharing the light of Christ.
South Longview Community
LETU students will also serve the South Longview community through developing relationships with the City of Longview through established community resources in need of volunteers. Students will be trained in asset-based and Christian community development through service.
