Empowering Students to See School as a Mission Field: The 9 Month Mission Trip

As students are back in school across the country, imagine if they didn't just see school as a place they had to go, but instead, viewed it as a mission field-where God is sending them for a purpose. What if they understood that they're there to shine the light of Christ in the halls and classrooms?

This is the heart of the 9 Month Mission Trip (9MMT), helping students see their schools as a place to live out their faith and share Christ with those around them.

Here are several free resources to equip your ministry and help your students embrace this mission!
