What will you experience on our gap year mission trip?
Our gap year mission trip programs provide collaborative opportunities to tap into the heart of global outreach while immersing yourself in a new culture, honing your occupational interests and skills, and contributing to training Spanish-speaking pastors who preach Christ with power, passion, and precision while planting and shepherding churches locally and globally.
Build a community and lasting impact.
- Power means that you will be working alongside like-minded believers who come under the authority of the Scriptures in everything they do, according to the power at work within us (Colossians 1:29).
- Passion means that, as believers transformed by the Gospel, we also have a zeal to boldly proclaim Christ and see lives spiritually changed, with a spirit of power and love and discipline (2 Timothy 1:7).
- Precision means that, by partnering with us, you can be confident that the pastors with whom you collaborate on the field handle the Word of God accurately (2 Tim. 3:15) and will seek your personal spiritual growth while matching your spiritual gifts to the Church’s real ministry needs (1 Pet. 4:10).
