For seventeen years, Mission Waco has been mobilizing hundreds of middle class students and adults toward more compassionate involvement among the poor through its weekend Poverty Simulations and Out-of-Country Exposure trips.

Are the pressures of life in ministry overwhelming you? Are you looking for a life that is less SUBS? People in urban ministries often feel overwhelmed by the urgent needs of those they minister to. God does not want us to lead stressed out lives. Take a look at the life of Jesus and discuss the lessons we can learn from how he spent his time on earth. The rhythm of his life has important lessons for our lives today.

Ministry leaders spend their lives encouraging and supporting other people, yet we rarely have people in our own corner who pour into our lives. This workshop is designed for the leader who needs to really believe that God loves them dearly. In fact, He dotes on us. He sings over us. And He desires nothing more than for his partners in ministry to be confident, encouraged, supported and effective. This all begins with understanding how God truly sees us. Participants will look at Jeremiah 1:5 and Psalms 139 in order to begin the journey of accepting their acceptance.
