Christianity and adventure go together. Adam explored Eden, Noah built an ark, David fought the giant, Esther risked her life to save a nation, Nehemiah rebuilt an ancient city, Jesus traveled village-to-village, Paul brought the Gospel to the Gentiles… you get the idea. Longing for an adventurous faith is only natural. Given the history of our forerunners, it just makes sense.
If you’re looking for your next adventure, we may have the opportunity for you. Even though the summer has ended, we are still be providing missions opportunities throughout the year, and it’s never too early to start planning for next summer. With trips lasting as short as three days or as long as 11 months, the right mission trip is waiting for you or your group. Read below to find out more.
