trip dates.

Before departure, you'll take part in an intensive, week-long training called ROPES! Beginning the day after ORU’s commencement, its a powerful time of
final preparation, spiritual focus, and team-building.

Completion of ROPES is required for all students before heading to the field. After ROPES, you’ll have a day to rest and recharge — then it’s time to head to the nations!

the peaks.
Every trip has a PEAK ELEVATION,
which illustrates the height of cultural immersion expected on the trip.

Peak 1

Minimal cross-cultural engagement; shorter travel time; predominantly English-speaking ministry; mostly American-style food. If this is your first mission trip, Peak 1 is a great fit.
Peak 2

Moderate cross-cultural engagement; moderate travel time; predominately non-English speaking ministry; mix of American and non-American styles of food. If you want to grow in cross-cultural comfortability, Peak 2 is perfect.
Peak 3

Complete cross-cultural immersion; lengthy travel time; significant language differences; mostly non-American style food. If you want to be stretched out of your comfort zone in every area, Peak 3 is it.
Peak 4

Complete cross-cultural immersion; lengthy travel time; significant language differences; mostly non-American style food; harsher climate or more difficult living arrangements. If you are looking for a challenging experience, Peak 4 will grow you in every area.

One of the most incredible parts of
ORU Missions is all of our trips are STUDENT-LED!
Mission leaders are marked by their spiritual maturity, love for people, critical-thinking skills, and desire to grow. Leaders are selected after an interview process and receive specialized training throughout the fall and spring semesters. Consider applying for leadership if you have a heart for the nations and a desire to serve your fellow students!

Sophomore — Graduate Students are welcome to apply for leadership, even if this is your first trip with ORU Missions.
