Riverstone Church is participating in International Project's Seed Week, a short-term mission trip to New York City. The goal of Seed Week is to plant the seeds of the gospel in communities of primarily unreached people groups by initiating spiritual conversations with those of Muslim, Hindu, Buddhist, and Sikh backgrounds. From these conversations, participants will note those who show an interest in hearing more about Jesus Christ. Following the trip, International Project's long-term workers will follow up with these individuals and their families.
