Syracuse For Jesus
Coming this summer. Multiple ministries and churches are planning a missions trip right here in Syracuse.
Starting August 1st to the 9th, 2025, multiple street teams and volunteers will be going out to the streets of Syracuse to share the gospel and pray with the community. We will be serving, feeding, praying and being the hands and feet of Jesus.
We invite you to join with us and be the Church united. We are calling every local church, ministry, house church, college and high school bible club - to unite as one body and bring the gospel to the surrounding area.
Below are the current churches and ministries uniting together and answering the call. We need the Body of Christ to go and make disciples, prayer partners and volunteers to share the Love of Christ as one. Join us by sending an email to SyracuseforJesus@gmail.com with your contact information so we can add you and welcome you aboard. Thank you and God Bless - The Missions team
Rev7 Ministries Gathering
A Celebration of Rev7’s 21 ministries at Encounter Christian Fellowship in Syracuse. John Watkins of Rev7:
"Over 30 individuals honored for their selfless service to the community.
This special dinner on 4/3 recognized the dedication, unity, and hard work of ministries serving Syracuse and beyond.
It wasn’t just about what each ministry has done alone—but what we are becoming together.
The vision is clear: collaborate, share resources, and boldly step into each other’s mission fields. We’re not called to stay in our corners—we’re called to invade each other’s space with love and purpose, serving side by side in every neighborhood God places on our hearts.
God is calling us to help our brothers in their communities—because they are ours too.
'One of you routs a thousand, because the LORD your God fights for you, just as He promised.'
(Joshua 23:10)
Imagine what happens when two stand together. A LEGION flees!"

Life Matters Training Center
Life Matters Training Center in Canastota, NY is a Gospel-centered, pro-life ministry that seeks to engage young Christians as well as the entire Church in ministry. We do this by taking individuals and teams out on the street to participate in hands-on ministry for themselves. We frequently take teams to local areas to pray and engage women outside abortion clinics, work with mobile ultrasound units, educate the general population on the value and importance of life, helping to promote and come alongside pregnancy centers, etc. These outreaches give us opportunities to connect with people and share Jesus’ love. We are actively recruiting young people to spend time interning with us where they can learn how to make their life matter for eternity by living it for Jesus now.
If you are interested in coming out with us for street outreach or would like to learn more about us, contact Julie Rosati (646)-315-5818 or Joanna Myers (717)-554-7040.
