"For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, that
whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life."
John 3:16
The Servant Event program at YLM provides
opportunities for service to youth and adults from around the country.
Servants come to YLM as support to the ministries that occur here and
work on projects related to mission maintenance, human care,
education, and evangelism.
Between all of the
mission sites that YLM serves and the 4.2 acre campus of YLM in El
Paso, there are ALWAYS minor repairs, clean-ups and painting to do.
Servant Events provide the extra hands needed to complete these tasks
and keep our buildings in good order, which allows the ministry to
continue running smoothly.
Check out this video from St. Paul Lutheran Church, Caro, Michigan. Their group of 11 servants came to YLM last May to add the roof to the Anapra mission sanctuary. This video speaks louder thanwords.
Human Care -
House construction, medical clinics, food distribution...
The needs of the people in El Paso and Mexico
are great. Servant Events provide extra helping hands in meeting the
basic needs of these people while showing them God’s love. Servant
Events provide medical clinics and house construction/repair in some
of the poorest parts of El Paso and northern Mexico.
Education/Evangelism - VBS, music
concerts, walk the neighborhoods...
Each year some Servant Events help
organize and lead programs designed to educate and strengthen men,
women, and children at the various ministry sites. Groups lead
Vacation Bible Schools, perform concerts, or walk neighborhoods
inviting people to hear the good news.
Most Servant Events divide their time working on
projects at San Pablo Lutheran Church in El Paso and
one or more of the mission sites in
Mexico. Opportunities are also available for your group to stay and
work at a Mexico border mission site for the entire week or work at
sites deeper in Mexico.
Program Fee: $250 per
participant provides for program expenses,
lodging, and local transportation
($50 of this fee is required as a
deposit at the time of registration.)
Construction Supplies: $200
per participant (if the group plans to do construction)
Food:
Groups may choose to have an El Paso cook prepare their meals for
them. Often groups prefer this option to purchasing their own
groceries and including meal preparation and cleanup into their
already rigorous work days. This option provides 18 meals at a cost
of $85 per participant.
Other costs groups encounter are their
transportation from home to El Paso, TX, and food/groceries if they
are choosing to prepare their own meals while here.
We are excited to have you and
your group come to serve the Lord and reach out to others
with His love with us here at YLM. Call our Servant Event Coordinator today at (915)
858-2588 so we can begin talking with you about dates. If you
are interested in special service options such as traveling to
non-border sites in Mexico or serving in special evangelism,
education, or music groups, please let us know.
