Full Description:
In planning this trip with you, we hope to minister to you and others by:
Developing spiritual life skills in your students: By focusing each trip on the basics, spiritual disciplines that are necessary both on and off the field, we will help reinforce that which you are currently striving to instill in your students. In this way we serve each participant.
Advancing the work of local ministries: By providing thoroughly equipped people resources, we will be able to offer encouragement and support for those missionaries already on the field. In this way we serve the world.
Saving you time: By handling trip logistics, we will free you up to focus on the discipleship of your students before, during, and after your trip. In this way we serve the local church.
