What’s the Plan?
Mission 10 Serve Days are scheduled on the fourth Saturday of each month (March-October) with the intention of partnering with local ministry partners.

In June and July, we focused on our Silver Spring Campus. A group of volunteers showed up at the Serve Days to paint, clean and help with minor construction projects. We will have Serve Days in August, September and October – so save the date for the fourth Saturday of each month to serve!

• August – River of Life Assembly - Sunbury, PA | Clean up, painting and more
• September – Details to be confirmed
• October – Details to be confirmed

Beyond the Walls
Summer is a great opportunity to connect with people in the community. Each year, CLA sponsors the Petting Zoo and kids’ activities booth at Jubilee Day in Mechanicsburg, PA. This unique opportunity provided a chance for our more than 40 volunteers to connect with hundreds of individuals and families in a welcoming way and allowed for invitations to be extended to Sunday services and our Family Summer Nights event. Pray with us that those who do not already have a church home will seek an opportunity to visit CLA.

GOOOAAAAALLLLL!!
A lot of excitement was generated with the 2026 World Cup Final being hosted in the United States. Watch Parties quickly started to be scheduled for a local experience for people to watch together. One of these Watch Parties was held as a combined outreach between CLA Silver Spring and CLA Español, and what a great day it was! The atmosphere was charged with excitement, and personal connections were made. The power of God was present, and He was glorified through a half-time salvation invitation. Thank you to those who served to help make this event a success!

This past May, 24 team members went to Montana to serve using their gifts and talents at Glacier Bible Camp. Why? To complete the necessary renovations to help keep the campgrounds maintained and safe for the thousands of students who will participate in camps and retreats this year. Those participating in a missions trip often find that God is doing something special in their lives too.

“People who went last year mentioned the number of children who accepted Christ at this camp. I felt the Holy Spirit guiding me to help at this camp so more people might find Christ.
 
Glacier provided views of God's creation that made His power and majesty palpable. Every day I could feel His presence. Our worship times were powerful and Spirit filled. This trip has made me contemplate on a deeper level the power, majesty, and holiness of God. I came to tears a few times when I meditated on Scriptures in Psalms by David.
 
You will never feel qualified or good enough. You just have to say yes to the Lord. I have found if He calls you to it, He will provide the strength and ability to make a positive contribution to the project.” - Melody

“I am so grateful for the whole team that went to Montana this year. I remember walking through the camp one night while singing and looking around at all the cabins that represent the ministry that happens at Glacier Bible Camp and the lives that have been touched over the decades there. It overwhelmed me with gratefulness for the privilege of serving the Lord in this way.
 
I have never come home from a trip feeling like I should not have gone. I have always been blessed every time I have gone. Things that worried me before I left were all taken care of during the trip.” - Rob

The City of Philadelphia is unique. While some areas thrive, other areas are hurting, and the distance between these areas is often the distance of only one street apart.

Pastors David and Shirrie Dominguez of the Philadelphia Dream Center have a big vision for changing the lives of those in Philadelphia by introducing them to Jesus. In a short period of time, they have moved from concept to implementation and growth of the ministry to impact the lives of many people in various stages and seasons of life. They have many missions teams who partner with them throughout the year to help Jesus be known, and CLA sent two of those teams since May.

One Day Trip – Renovation/Work Day
“I’ve wanted to get into the missions field for a while now, and this local trip seemed like a good starting point to do that. This was my first missions trip, and it was a small group. I sometimes get nervous with small personal groups, but after all of us shared our testimonies during the car ride on the way there, it was clear God brought us all together for this trip.
 
I wasn’t sure what to expect when we went, or what we would be doing. I said, “Use me as a tool, Lord.” He did just that. This experience pulled me out of my comfort zone and allowed me to gain some confidence in myself. So, what would I say to others thinking of going? Just do it. You won’t regret your part in bringing people closer to Christ.” - Sara

Student Ministries – Evangelism
“When I saw the opportunity to go on this trip, I knew it was a calling from God to do His work by going out and spreading the gospel, while also getting me out of my comfort zone and talk to new people.
 
At first, I was super nervous looking at the streets with people everywhere in bad conditions. But praying really helped, so after I prayed, I felt really confident and knew God was there to protect me so I could do His work.
 
I hoped to gain the courage to go up and pray for people who I felt needed healing. Later, God presented an opportunity, and I found myself praying over a guy who was really struggling. Feeling the Holy Spirit move in that moment reminded me not to over think things. Even if you are scared, God has a plan for wherever you go, and He will use you to help bring more people to Him.” - Brielle

This summer, nearly 30 students and student leaders traveled to El Salvador to serve with King’s Castle. The team stayed off campus to reach another part of the country, which provided them with some new experiences, like the one shared below.

“I fell in love with El Salvador last year on a missions trip and felt so changed by it. I love spreading God's love and so I was super excited to go to experience it again and grow in a stronger relationship with God while expanding His Kingdom.

One day, I was worshipping at the altar with other people from Youth. I felt led to invite the children who were sitting down to get up and worship/dance with us. There was a little girl who looked upset and I encouraged her to worship right next to me. A hype worship song came on and, during that song, she was jumping up and down, crying with a smile on her face, and she kept thanking me for helping her to worship. To me, this experience represents how doing something simple can impact someone the most. It made me realize how touched she was with God's presence in the room and her praising Him.

I have grown by feeling more comfortable in praying and sharing God's love with others. Also, it confirmed my calling to medical missions. If you are thinking about going, you should totally do it. You will definitely be changed by going on a trip and stepping outside your comfort zone. You will also grow in your relationship with God and as a person.” - Ella

It’s amazing what four simple activities can do. A small group of people traveled to Northern Asia to assist with a Summer Camp, which included teaching sports, music, English as a Second Language (ESL) and English Corners.

The students had a blast and, through these activities, relationships were built and connections were made. English Corners helped to build invaluable relationships in the community, which is helping the school to grow in students and staff members!

• See You at the Pole | Central PA – Pray for those who are organizing, leading and attending a See You at the Pole event on September 23. Pray that they will experience life change by developing and growing in their relationship with Jesus; this will bring change to their schools and community.
• River of Life Assembly of God | Sunbury, PA – Pray for the continued connection this church family will have in their local community and for intentional relationships to be made as a result.
• India – Pray for strength and endurance of our CLA team members as they seek God as they teach various vocational skills to women who have been rescued from human trafficking.
