Overview
In a bustling city of almost 3 million, a mission field awaits. Occupying just 237 square miles of land, Chicago is a heavily urbanized city. Your team will be in the heart of the needy communities that surround the wealthy city center. Many of these communities have been forgotten and overlooked. This provides a great opportunity to show the love of Christ in a tangible way. Your students will be involved in home restoration and community improvement projects. You will also have the opportunity to reach out to the children in the neighborhoods. On your night out you will be able to sample the fun environment of downtown Chicago. Consider Chicago as a great destination for your mission trip.
