What is a Wow Jam?!

Imagine a FREE huge block party filled with music, laughter, food, games, prizes and more, thrown in honor of those who live in the poorest and most violent neighborhoods around the United States! That is a WOW JAM! The strategy is simple: mobilize volunteers, churches, businesses and organizations to love people in practical ways like giving out groceries and hot meals, providing haircuts, fixing bikes, makeovers, family photos, raffle prizes, games and more! We do this to share God’s love and message of hope and purpose for every person! The best part is it’s COMPLETELY FREE to ALL who come!

LA Mission Week
Wow Jam week is about reaching Los Angeles with the love of God! It’s open to ALL AGES to serve and perfect for people who have never joined a missions team before as there is great training and preparation. We are inviting churches to come together to serve Los Angeles! There is something for everyone! You can serve at a one day Wow Jam or come for the week where we have training times, follow up home visits, baptisms and plenty more! We will be reaching over 15,000 people with the love of God! We serve a diverse group of people. We have a great need for spanish speakers as many that we reach do not speak english. Wow Jam LA Mission Week has been reaching Los Angeles for 22 years. This consistency and faithfulness has given Wow Jam a deep impact in these cities, with officials and most of all in the lives of people. It truly is a life changing day for all because everybody needs to be told they are special and that God loves them!

District Haiti Trip – March 2012

The planning for the next district Haiti trip is already under way.  This will the 4th district team to embark on a week long mission to Haiti.  Our intent on forming missions teams from members of different churches within the district is to ignite interest in missions and educate people regarding mission work and cross cultural experiences.  These are great opportunities for churches to learn how to get more personally involved in missions and for those who are interested in becoming full time missionaries, it’s a great starting point.  Check out our blog for some stories and pictures. 

Training for our teams is intense and meticulous, with a strong emphasis on cross-cultural education, spiritual and physical preparedness.  Here’s the info you need:

  • Date:  March 17 – 23
     
  • Cost:  $1,200 (keep in mind this can change according to airfare)

Altadena Fsq in La Gloria Mexico

[flagallery gid=1 name="Gallery" skin=default]

In June, New Heart Foursquare – Altadena, CA – sent a missions team to La Gloria, Mexico.  New Heart has partnered with this Foursquare church in Mexico and assisted in their VBS and helped with the expansion of the sanctuary.  This was a great time of fellowship with Pastor Henry Campos, and the team was able to see all the work this church is doing in the La Gloria community, which is just outside of Tijuana.
