Celebrating SERVING IN ST. LOUIS

Restore St. Louis is a ministry of New City Fellowship Church in St. Louis, Missouri, which leads a variety of outreach in the city.  Students will spend their spring break building ramps, staining decks, painting rooms, cleaning and organizing, moving furniture, doing yard work, and visiting with senior citizens to share the love of Christ by meeting the needs of the community.

“There’s a certain beauty in the brokenness of the city and it is simply aching to be fostered. Restore St. Louis is working to foster this beauty while also sharing the love of Christ on the way. I love working in broken places because we are all broken people in need of healing,” said Cora Murphy (‘25). “I realized that we as Christians are called to serve, but the reason we serve is so that we may grow our family of believers!”

This will be the third year DMC students have served with Restore St. Louis.

Team Abaco

Team Abaco, which is located in the Bahamas, will work first hand with Haitian refugees that are looking to begin a new life outside of the country of Haiti. This upstart to their life provides opportunities for our mission trip members to evangelize through VBS Bible Camps, community outreach, new building projects, and agricultural sustainability projects.

“Our trips center around giving you opportunities to use your God-given talents together, while working alongside the Haitian people. Our goal is to immerse you in the culture of Haiti, providing opportunities for God to speak as you take action in His global church.”

 - Tim Brand, CEO Many Hands for Haiti

Team Honduras

Team Honduras will have the unique opportunity to work alongside community members to help empower them with the resources they need to provide food, education, healthcare and assistance for their families and neighbors, bringing hope in the midst of difficult circumstances.

"The Honduras trip allowed me to witness the blessings of answers to prayer, develop deep fellowship with Hondurans and fellow students, and learn to put my faith into action. It's a beautiful opportunity to see God at work in, around, and through you in a new way that brings life-altering change to your daily life." - M'Lynn De Ronde '24

"During my trip to Honduras, I learned how God works through the nations. The blessings we received were immeasurable to anything else. Putting my faith to work was a life changing experience, especially to see how it helped the communities. Honduras is a place where I truly saw and felt God, and that forever changed my life." - Adrian Phelps '24
