The Purpose
We desire to aid the local church in sending students on mission around the world. In Mark 16, Jesus invited his followers to GO into all the world and proclaim the Gospel. Missions is an invitation into the story of God’s redemptive work around the world. We have all been commissioned to this incredible task, including young people. We believe sending students on mission mobilizes workers for the harvest, deeply transforms young leaders, and fuels the vitality of the local church.
