| We coordinate for our volunteer groups to do a variety of service throughout their week at local organizations. Organizations can change year to year; but typically volunteers will be volunteering at a food bank; domestic violence shelter; refugee resettlement agency; urban sustainability farm; beautification project; or homeless/wrap around services agency. Each of these organizations has professional volunteer coordination; and they plug in our groups depending on the age range and the day-to-day needs of the organization. Activities can range from sorting and organizing food donations; stuffing backpacks for a give-away; sorting through clothing donations; pulling weeds in an urban garden; giving out food directly to the unhoused community on the streets; cleaning apartments that are being prepared for women entering a domestic violence housing program; and much more. | Website: amenstlouis.org | 4111 Connecticut St. St. Louis, MO 63116 | Annie Girresch | (314) 664-5525 | Email: amenstlouis@gmail.com | $200.00 | 24 | 14 | Year Round, Typically For Durations Of 1 Week |

| Acts 1:8 Ministry Center |
| When Jesus washed the feet of His disciples, he taught us, in dramatic fashion, that if we claim to be His followers, we must be servants to one another. Christian service comes in many forms and they believe that they have been called to provide opportunities for churches in Costa Rica and churches from other countries to serve one another and explore what it means for us to be part of a body that extends far beyond the walls of our own individual churches. Their hope is that they might be able to help foster long lasting, fruitful relationships between the congregations who participate in this ministry. It is very important to them that they avoid establishing or reinforcing already existing relationships of dependency, but rather, that the churches involved will discover the benefits of interaction with one another. They understand the communion that takes place across borders, cultures and languages as a glimpse of God's Kingdom and as a sign of the work of the Holy Spirit among us. | Website: costaricamissionprojects.com | 9852+6R San Isidro de El General San Jos Province Costa Rica | Wil Bailey |
