Project Genesis
Ministry Overview
Children's Bible Fellowship of New York provides a program called Project Genesis for those who serve at the camp during Spring Break. Through exposure trips to New York City, Project Genesis provides a view of the city that goes beyond the popular tourist sites, demonstrating the urgent physical and spiritual needs of those living in the inner-city. This ministry provides exposure to New York City through hands-on urban evangelism, camp ministry opportunities, discipleship training, and grounds maintenance work projects on CBF's beautiful 220 acre campus.

Costs
$500 per person
This cost is based on a team of 8 students and covers housing, meals, and transportation.
You can ask your church or youth group to help support your costs but, unfortunately, they will NOT be able to receive a tax-deductible receipt. Funds received over and above the support needed by a team member are non-refundable and will be considered overage. Overage will be put directly into the team fund as a whole.
Dates
You will leave campus Saturday, February 28 at 8:00 a.m. and return Saturday evening, March 7.
