RockPoint Students will embark on a short-term local mission trip to the Houston area to help the local community with disaster recovery. Students will get to meet amazing friends from all over Texas, experience spiritual growth in Bible study, and participate in lively worship. The missional work includes restoring hope, rebuilding communities, and reflecting Christ in areas impacted by disasters or where homes are in need of rehabilitation through hands-on construction missions. On Wednesday we will have an amazing celebratory beach day in Galveston before returning home!
