Beyond our monthly opportunities for students to serve around the Church, students have the opportunity to go on our annual YouthMissions Trip. It is important for our students to have the opportunity to put their faith into action, serving a community and creating an impact through hard work and the Gospel of Jesus Christ. Throughout the year, students are provided many opportunities to join the Church in fundraising for their missions trip through fun events like bake sales, babysitting, and more!

Missions trips are a great way for students to disconnect from the online world and be engaged in a new community. They will get to see God work directly through their service in the lives of others. Students will be stretched outside their comfort zone, deepen their relationship with God, and create friendships and memories that are unforgettable!
Students will sleep in Bayou La Batre Community center on sleeping bags and air mattresses. Boys and girls will be separated. Doors will be locked, and students will be safe (I went on this exact missions trip in 2017 and stayed there).
Students will be partnering with 1-2 other Youth Groups from the U.S. They will be in mixed service teams with one BBCC leader and 1-2 other students from BBCC, and then that same ratio form the other churches.
Youth Works is a non-profit Christian organization that’s been around for 30 years. They organize missions trips to spread Jesus’ love to communities in need across the country.
The cost includes the van rental, 3 meals a day (besides travel meals), supplies needed for work projects, housing, and activities.
Students will participate in a few of these work projects: Serving in a retirement home, soup kitchen, community kid’s daycare, or community service projects (like painting a house).
We will have 5 Adult leaders staying with students. YouthWorks also has multiple staff members who stay with us and supervise our students.
Students wake up and do a personal devotional, they eat breakfast and get ready. Students do work projects until around 3 with a lunch break at their work site. Students come back to the community center for worship and a message led by YouthWorks staff. and either a night time activity (such as going to the pier) or group games.
• Students will need to bring money for a meal on the way up and a meal on the way home. As well as if they would like to buy any souvenirs.
• The trip is limited to 15 students
• There is a $100 registration deposit for each student. After that there will be 3 payments.
• There will be plenty exciting fundraising opportunities. Depending on how many hours students fundraised, they will get a portion of the fundraising reimbursed to their trip.
