U.M. ARMY and the Texas Ramps Project are pleased to announce their successful partnership from this summer’s mission season. Together, they were able to complete 34 wheelchair ramps for community members in: San Antonio, Brownsville, Orange, Bryan, Jacksonville, Shermann, Denton and Bonham. Volunteers pictured below are constructing one of the wheelchair ramps in San Antonio during July.

This partnership combines funding from both U.M. ARMY and the Texas Ramps Project for building materials. U.M. ARMY teams of student and adult volunteers proceed to build the ramps and connect with the families who need help.

U.M. ARMY mission weeks took place during the months of June and July with volunteers serving many communities throughout Texas, Louisiana, Florida and the Northeast Region of the USA. U.M. ARMY provides Christ centered missions that serve people in need and promote spiritual growth and leadership development in youth and young adults.

What a blessing it was to be #InRelationship with close to fifty church youth groups from the Rio Texas Conference and beyond as we served nine communities with ten mission opportunities May, June and July of 2018; we completed over 80 work sites including churches, non-profits, residential and Hurricane Harvey impacted locations with the help of 635 participants, Thank You!

Here is a quick look at our impact since U.M. ARMY Rio Texas first started offering mission opportunities in 2003:

Total Camps = 110
Total Participants = 7292
Residential and non-profit sites = 1528
Communities in Central/South/West Texas Served = 85

I am amazed that so many have given an entire week in service to our Lord by helping our neighbors… You are Christ’s hands and feet to so many, thank you!

It is time for us to start prepping to be #SentOut in 2019 with College/Young Adult, High School, Middle School, Mixed Age and Family Mission Opportunities.
