Syracuse For Jesus
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

"What a privilege it was...to share the good news of Jesus at Innovative Stadium for the Rochester Redwings and to NBT Bank Stadium for the Syracuse Mets. Testimonies, music, sponsor tables and flyers, exchanges with Christian friends from various backgrounds and baseball fans who were curious about why we were there…
At two of our tables, we handed out tiny plastic Jesus figures with the tag line “Everyone needs a little ‘Jesus’ in their life.” We gave away hundreds!
What’s next for Mission Syracuse and Mission Rochester? Something big!!! Wait till you hear. Stay tuned." (Per Mission Syracuse) (pictures courtesy of Mission Syracuse)

"This past Saturday (June 28) marked the Grand Opening of the Women’s Home on Collamer Rd in East Syracuse! This project has been in development for quite some time, and we are deeply grateful to everyone who helped make this day a reality.
We want to extend a heartfelt thank you to the staff of both the Women’s and Men’s Homes, whose hard work and dedication transformed not just the property, but the entire atmosphere, making it truly feel like home.
We also appreciate the unwavering support of those who have prayed for this milestone and generously given their time and financial support.
Thank you as well to the residents from Syracuse Adult & Teen Challenge, as well as those from Buffalo Adult & Teen Challenge and Rochester Adult & Teen Challenge, whose willingness to help wherever needed was essential in preparing the home for its new residents.
Above all, we give all the Glory and Praise to the Lord for making this possible!
Check out the photos of the special day as well as a look into the property.
Stay tuned for even more exciting updates as to how God is moving through the Women's Home in Syracuse NY!" (Per Adult and Teen Challenge) (pictures courtesy of Adult and Teen Challenge)
