About Mission Year
Mission Year is a year long urban ministry program focused on Christian service and discipleship. We take teams of young people, place them in an area of need, and help them to serve people and create community. We are committed to the command of Jesus to “love God and love people,” by placing the needs of our neighbors first and developing committed disciples of Christ with a heart for the poor.

“Don’t just pretend to love others. Really love them. Hate what is wrong. Hold tightly to what is good. Love each other with brotherly love and take delight in honoring each other. Never be lazy, but work hard and serve the Lord enthusiastically. Rejoice in our confident hope. Be patient in trouble, and keep on praying. When God’s people are in need, be ready to help them. Always be eager to practice hospitality. Bless those who persecute you. Don’t curse them; pray that God will bless them. Be happy with those who are happy, and weep with those who weep. Live in harmony with each other.” ~Romans 12:9-16
“Jesus replied, “‘You must love the Lord your God with all your heart, all your soul, and all your mind. This is the first and greatest commandment. A second is equally important: ‘Love your neighbor as yourself.’ The entire law and all the demands of the prophets are based on these two commandments.” ~Matthew 22:37-40
“The harvest is great, but the workers are few. So pray to the Lord who is in charge of the harvest; ask him to send more workers into his fields.” Matthew 9:37-38
“You are the salt of the earth. But what good is salt if it has lost its flavor? Can you make it salty again? It will be thrown out and trampled underfoot as worthless. You are the light of the world-like a city on a hilltop that cannot be hidden. No one lights a lamp and then puts it under a basket. Instead, a lamp is placed on a stand, where it gives light to everyone in the house. In the same way, let your good deeds shine out for all to see, so that everyone will praise your heavenly Father.” Matthew 5:13-16
“Oh people, the Lord has told you what is good, and this is what he requires of you: to do justly, love mercy, and to walk humbly with your God.” ~Micah 6:8
And Your Light Will Shine
Words and music by Ted Sandquist
Feed the hungry
Clothe the needy
Help the weary
And your light will shine
Teach the children
Raise the orphan
Bind the broken
And your light will shine (3x)
Out of the darkness
Free the prisoners
Not oppressors
Love your neighbors
And your light will shine
Heal the cripple
Aid the widow
Share the gospel
And your light will shine (3x)
Out of the darkness
You are the light of the world
A city set on a hill.
You are the salt of the earth
Doing the Father’s will.
Children of God, you are the light
Sons of the Most High shine in the night
Live justly
Love mercy
Walk humbly
And your light will shine
Be the chosen
Not a token
Bear His kingdom
And your light will shine (3x)
Out of the darkness
