Through collaborative efforts, we pair up a mission field here in the United States with a team of kids and adults that desire to reach the lost. Youth and adults can then work together giving people hope through the message of Jesus’s love and forgiveness.
We believe that by putting people on the mission field at an early age we can help instill in them a heart of compassion for others. Through the use of their unique gifts and talents they can begin to recognize their potential for reaching those who don’t know Jesus .
Everyone will have a place to serve based on individual skill sets and desires. Our main purpose for investing in other communities is to share the love of Jesus through real and practical ways.
Kolton, a Lakota Indian, experienced the gospel message through a kid mission team and as a result made a decision to follow Jesus. As he asked forgiveness he wept and shared that he had never been told that someone loved him. The kids on this team shared the love of Jesus with Kolton and was instrumental in bringing him to Jesus.
If you or your group would like to be part of a mission team or would like for us to bring a team to visit your ministry field, feel free to contact us so that we can partner together to bring the gospel to children everywhere.
If you want a better feel of what a trip could look like take a peek at our Missions Team Handbook that might answer some of your practical questions about a typical trip.
What are people saying:
Pastor Rick Snyder; Faith AG, Brunswick MD – “We can’t underestimate the power of sharing the gospel with our children. Our transformational relationship with Jesus Christ as changed us forever, and we as believers need to allow our children to experience that same transformational relationship with Jesus also, and that’s what iRock Ministry does. Pastor Terry Williams is a dynamic leader when it comes to Children’s Ministry. Pastor Terry’s heart is to intentionally reach the heart of our children as she share the love of Jesus Christ. I’ve had the privilege working beside Pastor Terry and her team for the past two years as they conducted our VBS and how she and her team engage our children is phenomenal. To see children come to Christ is so amazing. If your church is looking for someone to come and do a VBS, this is the team you want. Love you guys, I’m looking forward to another incredible VBS this coming year!”
Pastor Trevor Whetzel; First AG, Harrisonburg VA – “We just want to thank you for putting up with us again on this mission trip, I was impressed by my teens on how they actually did. God used all of them, some of them were outside of their comfort zone, including our adult leader, God bless her, she did great. We enjoyed being with you for the week, as always you were a pleasure to work with. My group was blessed by the folks at the church, we are seeing God do a mighty work there, I will continue to pray for the pastor and his church. They inspired all of us. Again, thank you for the great week, we couldn’t have done any of it without you or iRock ministries.”
Frankie Todt; New Life AG, Farmville VA – “God did some amazing things in my heart and the hearts of my children while we were in Arizona! This was our first (but not our last!) missions trip and it was amazing! Thank you for iRock Ministries and Pastor Terry for making it possible.”
Mark Hutchins; Full Gospel AG, Prince Frederick MD – “As a member of the Week 2 team I wanted to say what a great week it was. With the people from our church and the 2 other church ,it was one family working together fixing houses and putting on the mega sports camp. Thanks to Terry for keeping everything going .Big Thanks to GOD for all of this. …… GOD BLESS!”
Wendy Toone; New Life Assembly of God Farmville VA – “Thank you for your leadership and planning for our trip to Rosebud. It was great and eye opening. It was such a blessing to be able to work with these children and share Christ and His love with them. I have been telling everyone about my trip since I have gotten back home. I hope I will be able to do another trip in the future. Again, thank you for all that you did; it was much appreciated. Thank you for all the sacrifices you made for this trip.
