We’re inviting any students who will have completed 6th grade (through 12th grade) to join us for an exciting mission trip in Tulsa, Oklahoma on July 9th-13th. Our teams will be taking the church to people in mobile home communities doing a variation of block parties, kid’s mobile clubs, all while sharing the Gospel and meeting needs in the Name of Jesus.
The Tulsa area is in the heart of “Green Country,” enriched by its oil heritage, and boasts of world-class cultural attractions. Most people in the area would consider themselves to be religious, but many do not know the Savior.
- Teams will be partnering with Mobile Missions
- Teams will be housed at Angus Baptist Church in Sand Springs and will need to bring an air mattress and bedding.
- Participants have to be dropped off/picked up or drive to/from the host church at the beginning and end of the project.
- Teams will be transported around the city via church vans/buses during the project.
- Teams will be working in mobile home communities doing various project for home owners, putting on VBS, helping start Bible studies, and most importantly sharing the Gospel.
Sign up HERE before March 14th. Each person (students and adults alike) are expected to have references submitted before that deadline.
Why serve in Tulsa?
Population: 991561
Tulsa has Oklahoma’s 2nd largest metro area and is in the heart of Green Country.
Unique Development
Tulsa is enriched by its oil heritage, and boasts of world-class cultural attractions. By 1920, Tulsa was home to 400 petroleum companies making it the “oil capital of the world.”
Homelessness
Nearly 7,000 people end up homeless, at least for a time, in the Tulsa metro area every year. Thousands more are just the loss of a paycheck away from finding themselves losing a home or apartment and perhaps ending up on the streets.
Religious Saturation: 34%
34% of those in the Tulsa metro area would consider themselves religious but many do not know the Savior.
Unchurched Population
95% of people living in multi-housing, government housing, mobile home parks, etc are unchurched. Many people living in mobile home communities do not feel comfortable coming to a traditional brick and mortar church. So through the efforts of GO Students, we will take the church to them and partner with ministries throughout the Tulsa metro area.
