FAMILY MISSION TRIP
Once known for its thriving steel industry, Pittsburgh has earned a reputation today for its food, art, and culture scene. About 2.5 million people live in the metro area. Because of its affordable cost of living, the city seems to be growing by the day, yet the number of active churches is not. It’s time for that to change.
Send Relief is a collaboration of the International Mission Board and the North American Mission Board and aims to partner with local churches and organizations already engaged in the region to fight against poverty and eradicate food insecurity, homelessness, and illiteracy in this awesome city.
Join LifePark as we partner alongside Send Relief to give practical assistance, make personal connections, and share the gospel to the Pittsburgh community April 9 – 15.
WHO?

WHAT?
