White's Chapel – Men's Mission Trip

When: Wednesday / Thursday, October 16/17 to Sunday, October 20, 2024
Where: Blueprint Ministries in San Antonio, TX
Why: To serve the people of San Antonio that need your assistance in making their home, “Safer, Warmer, and Drier“.

Join the men of White’s Chapel as we share the love of Jesus Christ with the people of San Antonio. San Antonio has one of the largest percentages of substandard housing for any major city in the U.S. All men 18 and above are welcome on this trip. We also welcome male high school seniors who want to serve alongside their father! No experience is necessary, just a willing heart! This is a terrific opportunity to serve Christ and meet other men from WC.

About Blueprint Ministries:

Blueprint Ministries is a non-profit organization in the heart of urban San Antonio that provides servant leadership training for youth and adults while restoring homes for elderly, disabled, and low income residents. 87% of the homeowners Blueprint serves are living at, or below, the poverty level. Home repairs can range from roofing and drywall repair to sub flooring installation and painting. Our goal is to make the house safe, warm, and dry.

Impact:

The men of WC have been going down to San Antonio each year since 2011. In that time they have impacted many homeowners and their homes. This map represents a small portion of the homes that have been worked on over the years by the WC Men.
