WHAT TO EXPECT

Once accepted, you will receive support from your trip leaders to begin raising funds, followed by an in-person, short-term trip orientation in April. This is a superb learning opportunity meant to establish team unity and to holistically equip you for your travels.

TRAINING & SERVICE

You will have the opportunity to work with an experienced pioneering ministry team that has recently launched a new work. Alongside of them, you will connect with local students through language, culture, and hospitality and you will learn to live out your faith and speak about your journey in new and authentic ways.

SPIRITUAL FORMATION

As you step outside your comfort zone in sharing your faith and visiting another country, you will be invited to process this with the Lord, with your team, and with your trip leaders. As you lean in to each of these avenues for spiritual development, we expect that you'll see your faith stretched and your heart expanded for the nations.

CROSS-CULTURAL EXPOSURE

On this trip you will experience the crossroads of East and West at the foot of the Caucasus Mountains and work in a vibrant city where new trends, old ways, and ancient customs collide. As you immerse yourself in a unique and fascinating culture, language and people, you will discover new things about yourself!
