PARTNERS

Restoration Atlanta was created to help redefine local missions in the city. The leaders of RATL (pronounce rattle--as in Ez 37:7) were not interested in starting another mission opportunity in the city for those in the suburbs to drive in, drop off, and drive away--creating a transaction-like experience. No, their desire was to create an environment where being with was valued over doing for--which in turn would lead to transformation for all.

The mission of RATL is to create urban ministry environments that foster God’s restoration, building the Kingdom within and through His children. Their goal is to bring individuals from all walks of life together for a unique and interactive mission experience, where both physical and spiritual restoration are received by all. They believe ministry and worship that unite young people from disparate socioeconomic backgrounds will inspire transformation and advance the Kingdom in Atlanta and beyond.

ACCOMMODATIONS

This journey is an OVERNIGHT TRIP. The Atlanta Team will stay at Solomon's Temple, the women's and children's homeless shelter which RATL opperates out of.The team will have their own corridor with their own bathrooms and team space. Staying on site with RATL gives goers the eye-opening and immersive experience of "being with". This unique experience is a Road staple that goers love!

The K180 Experience is a street evangelism crash course that allows goers to grow in their faith and learn practical evangelism tools. The team will be stretched outside of their comfort zones as they put their evangelism training to the test locally, right here in Houston.
