Northstar works toward fulfilling our global vision by sending short-term teams and long-term missionaries. Our primary aim in sending is to help start churches where they do not exist or to empower the local church to fulfill its mission.

Leaders: Bri and Jason Allen
More Info
The Roma community, not too far from downtown Athens, is a people group who are misunderstood, judged, and forgotten. A lack of education and social inclusion have led to lack of jobs and income. Many live without running water, power, or permanent home structures.
The Petalouda educational center (through Hellenic Ministries), believes change is possible in Jesus’ name. This ministry nurtures the Roma community by helping them with things they never thought possible: reading, writing, applying for jobs, learning new skills, and more.
This volunteer team will love the children, teens, and adults through educational opportunities, including teaching English.

Hamtramck, MI
More Info
Hamtramck was the first city in the United States to have a Muslim-majority population, and the call to prayer from the Mosque is audible to the entire city. During the trip, you will learn about the context of ministry in this 2-square-mile town that is 50% Muslim and 50% impoverished. You will also intentionally engage with those in the city through visiting a local mosque, attending cultural festivals, and participating in prayer walks. This is a wonderful cultural immersion experience for those willing to be a learner.
