God has placed us in the city of Boston, a part of the world for which Christ died. God is at work even now amongst his people and places across the city. The prince of darkness seeks to deceive, lie, and destroy those same places. Join a series of prayer walks as we desire to hear and bear God’s burden for different parts of the city, and intercede for it in the name of Jesus. We will also seek to discern God’s call on Park Street Church in bearing witness to the presence and power of Jesus the Lord. We will provide training and support resources.

Park Street Church will join with other area churches again this summer for the annual “Reach the Beach” evangelism project. Team members use various methods to engage those they meet in spiritual conversations. In this diverse neighborhood of Revere Beach, people from many nationalities visit the literature table to receive Bibles and Jesus Film DVDs in their own language. Live music, activities for kids, facing painting, drama, and a prayer table are all activities that draw people into fruitful interactions, as they enjoy a day at the beach.  

An event this large requires much help and cooperation! Volunteers are needed during the planning stage, and many believers will be needed during the week—helping at the bandstand, leading kids’ activities, talking and praying with the beach goers, etc. Even if you cannot participate every day, you can still take part in the mission project.

This fall, Park Street will continue to develop relationships built several years ago with a Christian mission hospital in an under-served area of the Middle East. We are seeking volunteers to help the nursing staff of this hospital improve their English language skills. Being more proficient in English would enable nurses to better communicate and interact with visiting non-Arab medical teams. Team members will use prepared materials to teach basic English, as well as medical content-based lessons, and provide conversational practice.  

Teaching experience would be helpful but is not necessary.  Volunteers must have a genuine faith, a servant heart, and have native or near-native English-speaking ability.
