All of our teams are led by college students! Each team is guided by a Team Leader (TL) and Assistant Team Leader (ATL) who have completed six months of intensive leadership training in preparation for their trip.

Preparing for cross-cultural ministry is at the heart of our office! Teams form in November, and then our whole department gathers for bi-weekly training in the Spring semester to be as prepared as possible for the mission field.

Teams meet once a week in the Spring semester to build relationships and unity. We want our teams to know each other well and trust one another before they arrive in-country.

ROPES is one week of intensive training before teams depart, designed to be challenging, encouraging, unifying, and to prepare teams spiritually, relationally, and emotionally. It's a requirement that every student completes ROPES before their trip.

We seek partnerships with strong, established ministries that desire a fresh boost of encouragement to help sustain their work long after we’re gone. Our teams are equipped and ready to serve in a variety of ways, including children’s and youth ministry, construction, service projects, preaching, teaching, discipleship, education, orphan care, sports ministry, street evangelism, church ministry, homeless outreach, and worship.

Our teams arrive eager and ready to dive in! After months of training and preparation, they come equipped, energized, and committed to making a meaningful impact. These are high-capacity leaders who can adapt quickly, take initiative, and serve with excellence in a variety of contexts.
