Sunday Night Thoughts  

Posted by Jordan Jones in

I hate to minimize what happened last night to a few bullet points, but I'm not sitting across from your sipping coffee like I wish I could be. 

  • Last night was one of the highlights of my 3+ years here at Trinity. I saw broken people celebrating the reality that God has been restoring them the last few months. I saw a fire that I have never seen. I saw creativity come out in students in fresh ways. 
  • It was fun leading side-by-side with Zach last night- that guy continues to push me to a place of awareness of what God is up to, how much Satan is pissed at what God is up to...and if our ministry is causing a stir in the battle of good and evil that is in our midst. Thanks dude. 
  • A few people asked what the names of the songs we did last night were, so here you go:
          Cannons by Phil Wickham
          Shipwreck by Starfield
          You Never Let Go by Matt Redman
          Revelation Song by Jesus Culture
          Come Thou Fount
          You Won't Relent by Jesus Culture
          You Deserve by Hillsong United
          Freedom is Here by Hillsong United
  • We had a ton of students turn in Mission Trip Applications...right on! I'm so pumped for the transformation that will happen in our lives, but more importantly the love and service we pray will be infectious to everyone we come in contact with throughout the trips. 
  • Don't forget that we won't have Crosswalk next Sunday night because of Easter. Trinity's Easter Services are this Saturday at 5 and 7 p.m.or on Sunday morning at 9 and 11 a.m. 
Love you guys. Love my job. Love seeing what God is doing among us. Don't take it for granted.

“The longer you look at Jesus, the more you will want to serve him in this world.  That is, of course, if it’s the real Jesus you’re looking at.  Plenty of people in the church and outside it have made up a ‘Jesus’ for themselves, and have found that this invented character makes few real demands on them.  He makes them feel happy from time to time but doesn’t challenge them, doesn’t suggest they get up and do something about the plight of the world.  Which is, of course, what the real Jesus had an uncomfortable habit of doing.” - N.T. Wright

our very own Shelly McGee. Shelly is traveling overseas to check out a potential Level 3 Mission location for a future partnership with the Student Ministries here at Trinity. Pray that God would infuse clarity into the landscape of that potential reality and that even this prelim trip would show her and the team a small taste of what He desires.

Also, for me! I am heading home for 8 days tomorrow morning.

Level 1, 2 & 3 Mission Trips  

Posted by Jordan Jones in ,

New Vision for Student Missions 

Level 1 Trip- Cincinnati (July 11-16)
Level 2 Trip- Chicago SEMP (July 5-10)   
Level 3 Trip- Will be announced at Crosswalk on March 21


Level 1 Trips- The Starting Place 

Your presence during a mission trip speaks more than a thousand words through your simple love and willingness to serve. We believe in stories – in telling Jesus’ story, in listening to other’s life stories and in bringing our stories together to transform hearts; a Level 1 mission trip is the perfect time to tell those stories. 
Past Level 1 Trips:  
  •  Niagara Falls, Toronto, Rutland (Vermont), Milwaukee, etc.  
Pre-requisites:  
  •  You must have at least completed 7th grade.  
  •  A desire to serve a community in whatever way they need! 

Level 2 Trips- The Growing Place 

Level 2 trips are not for all students.  This mission event is designed specifically for students who cry out for a deeper relationship with God and are serious about sharing their faith with their friends.  This event will be a holistic equipping experience that will stretch, challenge and prepare you for peer ministry. 

Past Level 2 Trips:  
  • Chicago SEMP 
Pre-requisites:  
  •  You must have at least completed 8th grade.  
  •  You have been on either a Level 1 (see list above) or Level 2 Trip (SEMP) in the past.  
  •  A desperation for others to see Jesus as vividly as you have! 

Level 3 Trips- The Stretching Place 

The Level 3 trip will bridge it all together. Our main goal is to partner with an international church or organization to mentor and train youth in evangelism and outreach with practical, yet engaging learning opportunities.  

Past Level 3 Trips:  
  •  Costa Rica 
Pre-requisites:  
  • You must have at least completed 9th grade.  
  • You have been on both a Level 1 (see list above) and Level 2 Trip (SEMP) in the past.  
  • A passion to see other people make disciples & embrace Kingdom work.  
  • Only current exceptions: you are a graduating senior or a middle school small group leader.

Application packets and more details can be found at our Student Deploy page.
