Kansas City Mission

Partnership

It’s going Down June 28th - July 4th! Lead by the ARVBA Missions Team In March of 2015, 6 representatives from the ARVBA were invited to participate in one of NAMB’s Send Cities Vision Tours. After a whirlwind two-day adventure, our own vision began to take shape and a three to five year partnership with the Kansas City Church Planters began. In August of 2017, the ARVBA sponsored a 5-day, 4 event mission adventure involving all our Recreation Ministry resources. The week was awesome! Teram 2018 grew from the original 8 members from three churches to an awesome 19 members from 5 churches with additional churches providing transportation, finances, game prizes and more. We provided 5 events in 4 different locations and with at least 4 different church- planting groups and helped our church planters engage many different people groups. Some are mentioned below but, because of the diversity in any given neighborhood, we could not name them all. In 2019 we added church painting and grounds work to the standard block-party events and 29 ARVBA’ers from 7 churches poured themselves into the population of this great city. We engaged 4 different population groups that included an appartment complex, inner-city Hispanic congregation, Bhutaneese/Napali congregation, and, of all things, a Cowboy Church! More opportunities are sure to present themselves and will only be limited by the number of ‘missionaries’ who go with us. We have a dedicated kitchen staff for our morning and evening meals and have all the hot- dogs and popcorn we can eat while working the events. This missions event is open to all ARVBA churches, their members, and any guests they might invite. The cost is only $75.00 per person and the destination is only 6-7 hours away! Due to the Covid-19 pandemic, we were forced to postpone our 2020 trip but plans are already underway for 2021. More information will shared as it becomes available so check back often!
