-In the time leading up to the trip, we will have three trainings. These times of training will be a time to understand the culture of LA, prepare our hearts, and prepare ourselves spiritually for what God has for us. I look forward to serving with all of you on our first OVERFLOW JH MISSIONS TRIP!

These are some of the organizations that partner with CSM to advance the Kingdom of God in a tangible way:
Faith in Christ is a church located in South Central Los Angeles. They welcome the poor and oppressed in their neighborhood and provide a range of ministries, including food distribution, weekly "Sidewalk Breakfasts", and a variety of tutoring and Bible club ministries for neighborhood children. CSM groups assist with the physical plant, help with the tutoring and Bible club programs, and prepare and serve “Sidewalk Breakfasts.”
The Midnight Mission has been serving the Skid Row community since 1914 with emergency shelter, food and clothing, as well as a drug and alcohol rehabilitation program. The Midnight’s mission is to be a bridge that carries men, women and children back into the community through counseling, training and job placement. Working alongside the men of the Midnight, CSM groups hear stories and learn first hand the damage of addiction to drugs, while at the same time seeing examples of incredible strength in the men who are working to overcome these addictions. CSM groups have seen and heard these stories of faith and victory since they began serving meals and working in the kitchen nearly every week since 1999.
Central City Community Church is located in Skid Row. Its vision is to be a church where homeless and poor neighborhood residents can be welcome, feel comfortable, and worship alongside other believers. CCCC also hosts S.A.Y. YES! Center for Youth Development, an after-school program for children who live in nearby Skid Row hotels. CSM groups help to lead S.A.Y. YES! Bible times, tutor neighborhood children, participate in the Karaoke Coffee Club and assist CCCC with its ongoing maintenance needs.
Las Familias del Pueblo is a day care facility for poor working parents in downtown L.A. Its small but dedicated staff (usually 2-4 people on any given day) work to cope with over 50 lively children. CSM groups are much welcomed as they lavish much-needed time and attention on these little boys and girls.
Alegria is a Salvation Army transitional housing facility and program for families who have become homeless as a result of HIV/AIDS. The families at Alegria tend to isolate themselves in order to cope with the seriousness of AIDS. However, the staff here knows that it is socially, emotionally and even physically healthy for the families to interact with people outside the program.
