Baton Rouge 2009

Why Baton Rouge?

The Baton Rouge Dream Center is an outreach of Healing Place Church. They are Located in one of the most crime ridden and poor areas of town. Through Church services, After school programs, Life skills and discipleship classes, street outreach, Grocery give-aways, free clothing boutique, etc, they hope to be a light in the darkness and reach the ones forgotten and abandoned by society for Jesus Christ.

Why FlipSide?

FlipSide had an incredible opportunity to work alongside those serving faithfully at The Baton Rouge Dreamcenter last Summer. Those who attended last year haven’t stopped asking to go back. I believe we have much to learn about true service and selflessness and the biblical mandate to consider others better than ourselves. Last year we saw a humbling display of volunteerism and learned the power of putting the needs of others above our own.  We look forward to going back this year, getting our hands dirty, and continuing to build a relationship by serving with this amazing ministry of Healing Place Church.

How will I raise that?!

Even though $400 is an amazing price for a 10-day trip, we understand that it’s still $400. We’re planning four significant fundraisers over the next three months that will greatly reduce the cost of this trip if your teen is diligent to participate. We understand the current state of our economy makes this decision even more difficult, however we also understand that the greatest sacrifices produce the greatest rewards. We encourage you to ask God if this opportunity is for your teen and if so we want to partner with you to make it happen.
