Parents, We Believe in You!

Kelly Chadwick is the Program Coordinator
for both our Ambassador (high school) and Passport (college) programs. She worked with high school students full-time for 6
years as a youth director before going on Adventures’ eleven-month trip called the World Race.  She has been on staff since 2009. 

Dear Parents,

While your high school student may believe that they’re the ones setting out on this adventure, we know that you are probably taking the biggest risk of all! Sending your student on a mission trip, away from home, and possibly to the other side of the world could be more of an exercise in faith for you than for them. While they get excited about a new culture, playing with kids, exotic locations and living out the Gospel, you think about things like safety and transportation, risks in third world countries, and sickness or emergencies. And while we know you’re excited about this experience with them, we understand your need to make sure they’ll be safe and well cared for.
 
We believe in your student and the impact they can make around the world. 
 
My staff and I are passionate about seeing this generation reach out to the world with
the transforming love of Jesus Christ. We believe that His presence has the power to bring hope
where there is suffering, healing where there is brokenness, and life
where there is death.  We desperately want them to be a part of what God is going to do this summer.
We also believe in you and the calling God has given you to help your student navigate through this world.  We know this might be new for you, it’s probably scary, and you aren’t sure you’re up for it.  
We’re here to help.  There are resources available to help you understand who Adventures is, what your student will be doing, and how it will impact them forever.  Our admissions staff is always available to talk with you about questions or concerns, and to walk you through the next steps to get your students to the field.

Blessings,
Kelly Chadwick
