Outreach

Go therefore and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, teaching them to observe all that I have commanded you. And behold, I am with you always, to the end of the age.

Our Outreach Ministries coordinate all of our efforts for serving in our community and around the world. They challenge our people to think beyond themselves and engage in spreading the good news around the world.

Right now, the two elementary schools nearest Bridge of Hope in north St. Louis city have only a 4-6% reading proficiency rate, but you can help improve that number. Bridge of Hope has created an online tutoring program to help these children learn to read. It only takes 40 minutes, twice a week, and the impact can last a lifetime.

Bridge of Hope provides the curriculum and training you need to be successful.

To learn more about how you can get involved and help change a life, email robin@bridgeofhopestl.org. 

The Cup of Nations soccer tournament is an amazing opportunity to connect with immigrants in St. Louis through soccer. The connections that are formed during the tournament turn into relationships, which can lead to gospel conversations and reaching the nations for Christ, all within our city.
 
The tournament occurs every year in July, and we need volunteers to help make it all happen! To learn more, email cupofnations@efree.org.

Each year we host a school supply drive to support famiiles at Carman Trails. Help us collect supplies by purchasing items from this list!
