South Texas with Border Perspectives

Open to ages 14 and up (under 18 needs a parent/guardian).
Israel with Nazareth Evangelical College

Join us where Jesus walked and is still walking today! We’ll pilgrimage together through the land of the Bible and learn about the modern-day peacemaking efforts of our brothers and sisters in Christ. Part Holy Land tour, part partnership visit, this trip will be an awesome way to connect the past and the present with where God is leading us to witness to peace into the future.
Colombia with Opportunity International

Bienvenidos a Cartagena, Colombia as we visit our partner, Opportunity International and see first-hand how they help families living in extreme poverty build sustainable livelihoods!

In return, we’ll also be encouraged, challenged, and inspired to live out the call of Jesus to love and serve others well. Open to ages 15 and up (under 18 needs a parent/guardian).
