Beautiful Feet Mission Trip
February 19-21, 2027
*Week 3
Every year, First Baptist Joplin heads to inner-city Fort Worth to serve alongside Beautiful Feet Ministries, and we’d love for you to be part of the team February 19–21, 2027.
Beautiful Feet serves people experiencing homelessness by meeting practical needs while sharing the hope and love of Jesus. During the weekend, our team will jump into ministry wherever we’re needed. That could mean serving food, organizing clothing, working on construction projects, helping with children’s ministry, talking with people on the streets, sharing your testimony, praying with someone, or simply offering encouragement.
You don’t need special skills or mission-trip experience. Just come ready to serve.
The cost is $35 per person or $50 per family, and scholarships are available.
Beautiful Feet is more than a weekend of completing projects. It’s an opportunity to step outside your normal routine, serve people face-to-face, and put the love of Christ into action.
