PUERTO RICO SUMMER RELIEF 2018!
On June 19, 2018, TENT Ministries began a month of Summer Relief in Puerto Rico, hosting two different groups of volunteers who happily rolled up their sleeves to take on the grueling task of removing rubble, waste, garbage, and wood from dozens of households as relief work on the island shifts to house demolition, clean-up, and repair. Thanks to partnering organizations, we were also able to bring and distribute over 130 pairs of New Balance sneakers to very appreciate men, women, and children across the island!
MEET THE TEAMS
Meet Our Team Leaders!
Jason and Lilly dedicated their entire 2018 summer to missions. Putting aside their personal agendas, they set out to serve the island of Puerto Rico for the span of a month, hosting two missions groups between June 19 and July 18. Though much work remains to be done on the island, the pair remains hopeful that they soon will return with more supplies and more resources for the task at hand!

Meet Team Coqui!
Team coqui came ready to work! From cooking for the community in Loiza and serving the children of Patillas to clean-up in Isabela, this group enjoyed every last bit of their mission and served the people of Puerto Rico in excellence! With sadness in their hearts they retreated to life in the states, but they also brought back with them a new found passion for missions!
|
Meet Team Cucubano!
Despite the hard work that lay ahead of them, Team Cucubano was not discouraged by the size of the task but rolled up their sleeves and got straight to work! With clean-up and demolition in places like Fajardo and Isabela, and outreaches in Adjuntas, this team did it all from moving rubble to finding the right fit for a child just in time for school.

Other National and International Outreaches
California 2016TENT Ministries hit the streets of Downtown, Los Angeles on April 2016 to bring care packages, heart-felt worship, and prayer to the community on Skid Row; a community with one of the world's largest homeless populations.
Not only was TENT Ministries able to bless hundreds of men and women in this high-need area, but the team was also able to visit the LA Dream Center to glean insight and serve alongside of them to bring food as well as live worship and prayer to the streets. The team walked away with a new, found appreciation for missions and street ministry. Glory of God! |
Mexico 2016TENT Ministries visited Tijuana and Rosarito, Mexico in May 2016 to bless the children at two orphanages with backpacks and school supplies as well as prayer and encouragement for the employees. We were also able to bless the orphanage with a beautiful art mural in their lunchroom meeting area complete with bible scriptures to remind them of how special they are to their Father in heaven. Though the trip was short, the impact we made was deep and a seed was planted for the glory of God. We established long-lasting friendships and relationships with the wonderful children and staff that will last a lifetime!

Mexico 2017TENT Ministries had the honor of returning to our friends at the Tijuana and Rosarito orphanages in May 2017! We were able to bless the children with backpacks, instruments, games, sports equipment, face painting, and haircuts, thanks to the help of our faithful friends and sponsors. We were also able to teach the children worship songs, bring puppet shows and bible studies, and spend some much needed time in prayer with the staff and children. In addition, we were also able to visit a women's shelter, a men's rehabilitation center, and the "Red Zone" area of Tijuana to share testimonies and offer prayer. More than 100 people dedicated or recommitted their lives to Christ during the 12-day trip! Glory to God!

Florida 2017TENT Ministries united with Assemblywoman Maritza Davila in September 2017 and several other local North Brooklyn organizations to collect resources to provide relief to individuals and families affected by Hurricane Irma.
Together we were able to collect 3 pallets of food, goods, and resources and hand-deliver them to communities that needed them the most, from elderly homes to mobile home communities. |
Puerto Rico 2017After Hurricane Irma hit, Hurricane Maria made landfall shortly thereafter, taking a toll on the island of Puerto Rico and ravaging everything in its path.
TENT Ministries paid a visit just 4 weeks after the hurricane to bring all of the food, water, and resources collected by the efforts of over 26 North Brooklyn organizations and distribute them to key places on the island and also offer hope in the midst of chaos as the residents began the grueling task of cleaning up and starting over. |
Puerto Rico 2018In January of 2018, TENT Ministries returned to the island of Puerto Rico along with a Nurse Practitioner and CEO of Heeling Soles, to bring medicine, medical treatment, and sneakers to men, women, and children, in key affected areas.
From Patillas to Loiza, from Utuado to Adjuntas, TENT Ministries was able to provide care and attention to those who have felt forgotten and neglected. We were also able to return in February of 2018 for a follow-up and to bring more supplies, partnering up with organizations, churches, and emergent leaders on the island and empower them to continue outreach in the communities in which they serve. |
