SPRING BREAK!!

On campuses across America March Spring break is infamous as students search out for the wildest places to bing, party, and frankly make fools of themselves and others. Well, thankfully at CityConnexx we offer churches, colleges, youth groups a much more positive "alternative spring break" option. 

Our staff and ministry partners are getting excited for all the spring break groups who are serving others instead of serving themselves at the bar. They won't be out drinking on the beach but rather feeding the homeless on the streets.

But as in many inner cities, the neighborhood changed and the crowd moved further out to 

"Because we lived, ate, slept and worked in the same area that these students in the ministry were too, I have a greater understanding of the community and the people we served. We got to live life together and most importantly worship our God as one body in Christ...sisters and brothers in Him." -Abigail, College Student, CityConnexx Illinois Mission Team
