Welcome
A GREAT TRIP FOR FAMILIES!
Do you want to be a part of fostering change and bringing hope to the city? Since the summer of 1999, MTTC has been doing exactly this by coming alongside others, building friendships and sharing the Good News of Jesus Christ.
These trips provide a tremendous opportunity to serve together alongside other families and teens. A tremendous bond is built throughout a week of serving and reaching out to our community. It is a very affordable trip for families, providing a discount for each additional family member that participates.
next trip: Summer 2012
We will not be hosting a MTTC this Summer in Minneapolis. We are taking the opportunity to move to an every other year local mission trip, with our teens and other participants going to another city to assist them in their own outreach. We look forward to having you join us for a trip during the summer of 2012!

WHAT WOULD I BE DOING ON MTTC?
Set in a variety of areas in the city, we sponsor and execute an array of community based service and kindness projects designed to demonstrate the love of God in a practical way, break down negative stereotypes about church and engage people in conversations about Christ.
Activities include providing free activities for children, hosting neighborhood carnivals and picnics, tutoring immigrants, assisting the elderly, packing meals for hungry children, giving away water and food in the parks and encouraging those who are recovering from substance abuse. Believing we can do more together than alone, we partner with many other service organizations committed to meeting needs in the city.

WHEN ARE THE TRIPS?
The trips usually begin on Friday evenings and end the following Sunday about noon. We are also offering a Half-MTTC from Wednesday till Sunday. Both trips will allow you to participate in our annual Kids Against Hunger 100,000 Meal Packathon. Week long participants will also assist organizations such as World Relief, Teen Challenge, Boys & Girls Club, a community carnival, and participate in a spiritual tour of the city.

HOW MUCH DOES MTTC COST?
In the Summer of 2010, our week long MTTC was $275 per person. Additional family members were $175. The half-week MTTC was $150 per person, with additional family members being $100. The $50 application fee counts toward your total registration fee. All payments are tax deductible, so you can also raise funds for your trip.

WHERE WOULD I BE STAYING?
Generally, the mission trips are a blend of local and out-of-town participants. We have hosted some smaller groups in homes, but are encouraging most people from out of town to stay onsite at The Urban Refuge and sleep on the floor (air mattresses recommended). We have found this option to be the easiest for daily logistics and meals, while providing the most opportunity for unity and community amongst the teams.

WHO CAN PARTICIPATE?
Persons 13 and over are welcome to participate in the trip. Anyone under 18 must be accompanied by a parent or a sponsoring adult or be under the supervision of a ministry leader.
