Support Our Team!

As a team, we are fundraising to make enough money to go on the trip. When you give a tax-deductible donation, you not only help us reach our goal, but you become one of our partners. Even though you are not joining us on the trip, you get to be a part of everything we do. We know that not everyone can join us in San Diego, but anyone can be a part of God's work by prayer and donation.


Today we will talk about the ways you can donate:

BUT FIRST, here's how we are doing on donations!

Ways to donate:


1) Mother's Day Cafe - May 14

We sold lemonade, cookies, mango pudding, popcorn and other snacks. 

2) Father's Day Carnival - June 18 

448 Francis Dr, San Jose, CA 95133, 12:30pm-2:00pm
Bring your whole family to join in the fun. We will be having different booths where you can participate in games of skill, try for a chance to put a pie in someone's face, indulge your sweet tooth at the ice cream bar, and do a little basketball shooting. Stay tuned for more details!

3) Rent-a-Student (until July)

Do you have projects around the house that you never have time for? Want someone to wash your car, mow your lawn, paint the fence, clean your bathroom, walk your dog, make a pizza? Why don't you rent a student (or 10!) Suggested donation is $25 per student/per hour ($50 minimum please). 

4) Card Wall 

(Located at Southbay Community Baptist Church)
Pick out a card you like and pay the amount listed on the sticker. Take home a gentle reminder of God's love with the Scripture-decorated card. 

5) No frills donation! 

If you don't want to be bothered with baked goods, carnival games, or colorful cards, you can just write a check to "SCBC." Please put "San Diego STM" in the memo line (don't put the names of any of the team members). 

If you have any questions or suggestions about other ways you can support, please email us!

Life in a Large Urban Community

Here's an excerpt from our mission team training book: "Life in a big city keeps moving. It's always morphing into something different, which can make serving in the city difficult... Because urban areas are such diverse environments, it's not hard to feel flooded with all the sensory influences. The sights, sounds and smells of the city can easily overwhelm the most seasoned traveler. Population densities are much higher in the city, so there are more people, more shops, more cars... more everything. As we serve in urban areas, we may encounter cultural and ethnic diversity, various levels of poverty and the challenges that come from a lot of people living in a small area. But we will also experience how this blend creates unique pockets of community within the larger city. Because of this abundance of factors, we'll find that the stereotypes we've held about people -- or certain kinds of people -- may not hold true. Let's join together and con...

Day 4 (Tuesday): Serving and Playing

Tim So today it was the second day of serving the people at the soup kitchen. It was cool, we served about 900 people, and some guy accidentally urinated on himself. We prayed for him, and I hope he’s doing well. Anyway, after that we ate and then went to Belmont Park, which is an amusement park, like Boardwalk. Wesley and I won 3 big basketballs and we were happy. I scammed them lol.

Ada Today, we helped out at the boys and girls club. We saw really cute kids like Isabella, Sophia, and Isaac. Later, we went to the senior home to eat lunch. The funny thing was that we forgot our cooler with our lunches. Thank goodness there were cup noodles in our car. It was really fun [[; I named all the leaders and made friends with them. Sunshine, Flower, Daisy, Kangeroo, and Jay.  Large Group Gathering (LGG): discussion groups Yasmine Hi, today was our first day working for the community,   we started off the morning helping at a boys and girls camp. Joni told me that the camp was for kids who   had a bad background, we loved playing with the kids, though there was some bullying. The afternoon we went to a senior home. It was a lot of fun talking to all the seniors. A little later we went to the Mexico border, but I stuck my hand through. We went down to the beach later, but we didn’t get wet.  Hannah Also, someone was mopping the...
