This Summer, our SrHI youth will head to St. Louis where we'll be working with Amen St. Louis and immersing ourselves in the city's culture, its justice issues, and the regenerative work going on there that's bringing hope and healing to its people. Our evenings together will be spent having leisurely adventures around the city, making food together, playing games, and deepening those bonds of friendship that only mission trips can forge! We have space to take up to 8 youth and 3 adults. Cost $200.
