Today,
September 6, 2011, Real Life, our missions program for college-age young adults
is now the Passport. Read the press release regarding the change in our moniker.
We’re
still mobilizing 18-22 year olds for 1-9 months to wrestle with causes like
poverty, orphan care, and human trafficking as they share and live out the
gospel. The program continues to be more
than a missions trip; it’s how the next generation of disciples establish their
identities in Christ and their citizenship of the kingdom of heaven.
We’re
just referring to it differently.
Thou
art thyself, though not a Montague…
What’s in a name? That which we call a rose
By any other name would smell as sweet.

God’s
been growing our ministry for the past 12 years and we daresay that the way we
mobilize college students onto the mission field is distinct and unique. Our name, however, wasn’t.
Plus,
there are lots of ministries with “Real Life” in their name. And let’s be honest, you might’ve gotten us,
a college missions program, confused with a reality show on MTV.
So
perhaps in a way similar to how Abram became Abraham, the new name suits us
better.
The Passport: Affirm identity. Access kingdom. Affect justice.
