Welcome to the Summer Immersion Program!
Here’s a peek into what happened this past summer…
The New York City Urban Project’s Summer Immersion Program 2012 will bring students from all over the world together in an effort to be faithful with the time, talent and treasure that He’s given us to learn to do right, seek justice, plead the case of the orphan, the widow and the fatherless. During the day, students will serve in missions internships loving the least of these. At night and on weekends students will seek the Lord in prayer, worship, bible study, discipleship and field trips.
The program will run from June 16 – July 23, 2012. These are the missions internships we are offering this year.
