Go Where Hope Is Needed

This summer, Unsheltered International is heading to Augusta, Georgia to serve alongside Garden City Gospel Mission—and we’re inviting you to go with us.

This is a hands-on mission trip focused on serving men and women experiencing homelessness with compassion, dignity, and the life-changing message of the Gospel.

Why This Trip Matters

Homelessness isn’t just about a lack of shelter—it’s about brokenness, isolation, and lost hope. Garden City Gospel Mission meets those needs daily through shelter, meals, discipleship, and recovery programs rooted in Christ. By serving alongside their team, we step into work that is already changing lives.

What You’ll Do

Team members will help with:

Serving meals and building relationships
Outreach and chapel services
Resource clinic
Prayer and encouragement
No special skills required—just a willing heart.

Who Should Go?

This trip is for anyone who:

Wants to grow spiritually through service
Has a heart for the homeless
Is willing to step outside their comfort zone
Believes the Gospel is meant to be lived out
Whether it’s your first mission trip or not, there’s a place for you.

Ready to Go?

If God is stirring your heart, don’t wait. Join us this summer and be part of bringing hope, dignity, and the Gospel to Augusta.

👉 Spots are limited—sign up today.
