JOIN RED ROCKS SPORTS ON OUR LOCAL MISSION TRIP TO JILL'S HOUSE IN COLORADO SPRINGS TO BUDDY UP WITH A SPECIAL NEEDS CHILD FOR A 3-DAY CAMP! This missions trip is to give parents with special needs children a weekend off to have a much deserved date night, visit friends and family, or just attend church for the first time in years. The cost per missionary is $250, but we will be working together on a couple fundraising events to alleviate those costs. Your three days will include the following activities: Friday
Saturday Saturday is a day of fun and activities. The Jill’s House team leads you and your buddies through a full slate of activities. It may be canoeing, singing, learning about Jesus, having delicious camp meals, exploring a ropes course, or reading together. Whatever is on the schedule, it is designed to ensure that your child – and you! – have a great time. After bed, your team gathers to discuss the day’s highlights and to share what God taught you. We focus the discussion on the ways that God cares for us, with the disabilities that we have, and the ways that He calls us to care for one another. Sunday After a morning of activities, cleaning up and saying good-bye, the children return to the parents. These parents are always amazingly grateful for the “gift of time” that you have given them. After a lunch and prayer, your team gets on the road, returning home by evening. |
REGISTERation: TBD There are no mission trips like Jill’s House. Your team will serve “the least of these,” loving a child with special needs. You will be fully tired…and fully alive. Jill’s House offers a three-day mission trip which gives your team a chance to have real impact, together, by serving children with intellectual disabilities under the guidance of Jill’s House’s experienced professionals. Jill’s House is the first and only mission of its kind in the United States. We provide overnight respite care for children between the ages of 6 and 17 with intellectual disabilities so that their weary families get a break. Our innovative programs allow children to experience fun and exciting activities for the very first time and meet other kids just like them. While we celebrate special children, their parents and typical siblings get the gift of time. This rhythm of respite makes a positive impact. Their families use their time of respite doing things that may otherwise be difficult while caring for their child with special needs. This physical rest points the way to the true spiritual rest that Jesus offers.
