“Don’t let anyone look down on you because you are young, but set an example for the believers in speech, in conduct, in love, in faith and in purity.” 1 Timothy 4:12
High schoolers: Join us for a mission trip full of cross cultural training and experiences, as well as gospel sowing among unreached people groups in New York City (NYC)!
Timothy Ambition is a 1 week program designed to grow a vision in high schoolers for reaching the nations with the Gospel. Participants learn about God’s heart for the unreached, receive basic training in cross cultural evangelism techniques, and go into local communities looking for “people of peace” who are open to studying the Bible or learning more about Jesus.
By becoming more comfortable in sharing the Gospel among the Unreached People Groups of NYC, participants leave with a strong foundation to share the Gospel in their own communities.

Timothy Ambition runs from Monday – Friday. All travel arrangements should be made for the days before/after your desired trip dates.
Training sessions before the short-term mission trip will not only prepare participants for the type of ministry they’ll be engaged in during Timothy Ambition, but also create team-building opportunities for discussing expectations, praying together, and bonding.
Each outreach day begins with training and prayer in the morning, followed by lunch, with evangelism in the afternoon and evening.
While scheduled activities may shift as different ministry opportunities arise, below is a sample daily schedule:
SAMPLE DAILY SCHEDULE
9:00 am-12:00 pm: Training
12:00 pm-1:00 pm: Lunch
1:00pm-5:45 pm: Ministry
Programs begin Monday morning and end the following Friday evening. All team members should arrive before the start of the program and stay for the duration. Teams will have one day off for sight-seeing. See below for a sample schedule:
SAMPLE SCHEDULE
Day 1: Intro & Prayer Scavenger Hunt
Day 2: Training & Ministry in Neighborhoods

Day 5: Training & Preparation for Ministry After Returning Home
The primary activities of Timothy Ambition teams will be gaining a vision for evangelism among unreached people groups (UPGs), interacting with unbelievers from UPGs, and sharing the Gospel with unbelievers from UPG diaspora communities. These interactions will help long-term workers find individuals who are open to learning about Jesus and may also be interested in gathering friends/family to hear the gospel. Short-term teams immeasurably help missionaries “sift” through large Muslim, Hindu, Buddhist, and Sikh populations in the city, looking for spiritually-open people.
The Timothy Ambition costs are as follows: $150/student. For families, after the first sibling, each additional sibling is just $100. Chaperones will be charged $25 each for background checks.
