:: Word from our Director – Seth Barnes ::

 
“It wasn’t my fault.” 

“I didn’t mean for it to turn out like this.”
How often we hear words like those in our everyday life. And my response is, “So what?”

Actions have consequences and intentions may have little to do with them. In our victim-focused culture, this is hard medicine to swallow. It doesn’t compute and it’s not politically correct.  Read more here…
 
 
 
 

:: Upcoming Trips ::


                                                                            
World Race
This is not your typical missions experience – the World Race is an 11-month Christian mission trip to 11 different countries around the world. It’s a way for young adults to abandon a traditional lifestyle in exchange for a dramatic paradigm shift.

Ambassador Trips
Are you 14-18 years-old and ready for a not-so-typical summer on your parent’s living room sofa? You should check out the summer trips that we have available for high school students. Ambassador’s gives you a solid missions experience in one of several locations around the world.
 
 
And just a heads up, the application deadline is quickly approaching!
 
 
 


Adult and Family Trips

Missions trips aren’t just for youth any more. These trips for adults and families (5 to 14 days) are the perfect opportunity for you and your family to be challenged through meaningful service. Adult and family trips include regular ministry times, along with moments of worship, debriefing, and fellowship.
