Treks give students the opportunity to serve internationally alongside trusted global ministry partners and local churches. During each Trek, students will be immersed in a different culture, participate in hands-on ministry, build relationships with local believers, and learn about the unique needs and opportunities within the community they are serving.
Our goal is for students to return home with a deeper understanding of the global church, a broader perspective on the world, and, ultimately, a growing desire to follow Jesus. Through each Trek, students are encouraged to step outside of their comfort zones, grow in their faith, and see how God is working around the world.

Fundraising
We expect each student to take an active role in raising the funds needed for their trip. Fundraising is NOT about asking parents to pay for the trip. Instead, it gives students the unique opportunity to take ownership of their trip by participating in team fundraisers, communicating with others about what God is doing, and inviting people to partner with them through prayer and financial support.
Take this opportunity to learn, grow, and trust God throughout the process. Start early, take initiative, and raise funds with integrity! If you are struggling to reach your fundraising goal, communicate with our staff early rather than waiting until the deadline. We want to help you navigate the process and find a path forward.
