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

4P Saturday May 24th at 137 US - 11, Central Square, NY, United States, New York 13036
Testimony Tuesday at Denny's
For Tuesday May 20th: Charlie’s life is a powerful testimony of transformation, perseverance, and faith. Born with a learning disability, he overcame early challenges to become a college professor, teaching math at Onondaga Community College for over 30 years. Once an atheist, Charlie experienced a profound spiritual awakening that led him to become a follower of Jesus. His faith became the foundation that sustained him through life’s trials, including standing by his first wife as she battled multiple sclerosis, and later, after her passing, supporting his second wife through her fight with cancer. Through it all, Charlie’s Walk with Jesus gave him the strength to care for his loved ones and endure the hardships along the way.

If you are in NY or PA, join one of the cities listed on May 31 or June 28 for a day of equipping you to live out the Great Commission.
Know anyone who'd be blessed by this? Send it their way!

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.
