WHAT TO EXPECT
Once accepted, you will receive support from your trip leaders to begin raising funds, followed by an in-person, short-term missions orientation in April. This is a superb learning opportunity meant to establish team unity and to holistically equip you for your travels. The orientation date for 2024 is April 5-7 in Hartford, CT. Mark your calendars!
TRAINING & SERVICE
Begin by experiencing a ministry for rural Ugandan villages that joins public health concerns, community formation, and spiritual growth. You will learn from veteran D4D (Discipling for Development) practitioners and Ugandan Christians who have dedicated their lives to the advancement of the gospel and to building thriving communities.
SPIRITUAL FORMATION
After your time in the villages, you will join Ugandan university students in evangelism on their campus and build confidence to live out your faith by engaging in spiritual disciplines in a new context. Throughout this trip you will learn the integration of physical, social, and spiritual development and ministry principles that can be applied to any vocation and context.
CROSS-CULTURAL EXPOSURE
Immerse yourself in a new culture to better understand your own, and to grow in serving others for the sake of God’s kingdom for a lifetime. Through this exposure and the counsel of Navigator staff with 20+ years of experience in cross-cultural missions, you will learn to recognize and respect differing cultural values and worldviews.
