WASHINGTON D.C.

This summer, our students will be serving in Waldorf, MD, a suburb of Washington D.C. Though D.C. is a cultural and political hub, it is a city with huge needs. Our students will be a part of fostering Church unity and hope in our nation's capital! Some examples of how students will support the continued service efforts in this community may include:

Leading Bible school for younger children
Repairing homes and churches
Sorting and distributing items for local food banks

Washington, D.C. is the epicenter of our nation's political landscape and is incredibly diverse along both economic and racial lines. As the hub of the federal government, the city is always hustling and bustling. A proud, smart city, Washington utilizes technology in innovative ways throughout the city. Much of the industry in the area centers around the government with companies like Hilton and Lockhead Martin holding their corporate headquarters in the area. With countless international embassies, Washington, D.C. is truly a unique city. Though D.C. is a cultural and political hub, it is a city with huge needs. The public school system has been ranked as low as 49th on a list that included all 50 states and the city continues to battle issues related to poverty. When you serve in Washington, D.C., you will serve alongside churches that are active in their community and aim to reach people in some really unique ways. Your mission team will be able to work alongside local church partners to meet real needs. As you partner alongside a local church, your mission team will have the opportunity to participate in prayer walking to speak God’s love over our nation’s capital.

PPM exists to build up, encourage, and assist the local Church in serving and reaching their communities for Christ.

Praying Pelican Missions aims to give your mission team the opportunity to make a long-term, genuine impact on a local community. When your team joins us for a mission trip, your group will work directly alongside local ministries where you can help to meet real needs.

We believe that healthy short-term mission trips are possible by building upon genuine partnerships, long-term relationships, and sustainable ministry.

Praying Pelican Missions staff are committed to preparing you for your short-term mission trip. Our team of missions experts will be with you every step of the way.
