About the event
The Hope on the Horizon Summer Outreach program is designed to introduce young people to the life of a street missionary, sharing a life of prayer and service with others who go out into the streets bringing the love of Jesus to the homeless.
For two weeks, participants will live a communal life, praying, learning, and reaching out to our homeless friends on the streets. In addition, there will be human, apostolic, spiritual and intellectual formation. We will also enjoy recreational activities together. Accommodations will be provided.
Who can apply?Young adults 19 - 30 who would like to serve Jesus in the poor. No experience required. Training is provided. Because of the unique nature of this event and very limited number of spaces, applicants will be interviewed and asked to supply two character references.
Program Fee:$650 Participants will receive mentorship on fundraising to cover their program expenses. Sponsors will receive a tax receipt.
