This year Occupy will be hosted at the Global Teen Challenge building. Each day interns will have a chance to worship, grow in the word of God and work alongside staff members of Take the City doing local missions. This year we will start off our first full week by doing a one week mission trip to Midland, Texas. All staff and interns will travel to Midland to help host a Take the City training conference and each intern will have various opportunities to grow and do ministry.
