Short -Term Global Engagement Trips:

Engage the Global Mission of God and forever be changed. Join our short-term Global Engagement Trips to serve alongside our long-term global partners in the work God is doing in their context. Each trip is marked by 3 components:

DISCOVER

We first and foremost come with the posture to learn and discover. On these trips, you will witness the Mission of God: how Jesus is faithfully moving across all cultural barriers to redeem the experienced brokenness of every host culture. Through partnership with our long-term partners, you will also discover the conviction, the cost, and the commitment of long-term missions.

SERVE

We come with the posture ready to serve, no matter the task. Whether through work projects or relational ministry, our desire is to be a blessing to the host culture, to our global partners and their team, and to one another, embodying the posture of Jesus through our selfless love and our willing service.

ENGAGE

With these two postures, we finally ENGAGE. We intentionally use the word, “ENGAGE” to emphasize the fact that on these trips, you are stepping into a global movement that God has already put into motion. Thus, we join with Jesus, asking Him to use all of us - our words and deeds - to further the mission He has called our global partners to. Finally, our desire is that when we come home, we continue to ENGAGE in God’s Mission unfolding all around us and across the globe.

These businesses have begun transforming the community, providing a livelihood and restoring dignity within the community - and most importantly the Church is growing! Now we are invited to help launch a ESL/Sports ministry by putting on a VBS/Sports summer camp for the youth!

CITYLIGHT TRIP:
BERLIN, GERMANY
When: May 30 - June 9, 2024
Age: College and Up

Join our team to go and serve alongside our global partners, Jon and Rachael, in Berlin! Berlin is a post-Christian mission field that embodies where USA is quickly headed. We will be hosted by Envision, Berlin, and be immersed in what long-term mission looks like in this context. We will engage in 3 key components of long-term mission: mission as prayer (in a post-Christian, atheist context we first commit to prayer, the true sustaining force of all mission), mission as learning (do you see?… do you know the story of the people in front of you, including their past hurt with the “church?”), and finally mission as serving. We will have service opportunities alongside the long-term missionaries, empowering them to be genuine blessings in word and deed to those around them, building relationships marked by openness to the gospel. Finally, we will be sent back on mission to our communities! This trip is a powerful, immersive, discipling trip in what it means to be the Church, to live a life on mission - especially in a post-Christian context.

Goer Pathway:

Do you sense Jesus doing something in your heart, convicting you for those who have never heard? Those who have never heard because no one is there to tell them? Those who have no one there to tell them because no one is going? We desire that everyone exploring God’s calling to GO long-term, would always have a next step from exploring God’s calling to being sent out well. To do this, we have a simple pathway of next steps:

Mission of God Class
The Mission of God… what are we actually talking about? What is God’s Mission? What is he actually doing? And what does that mean for me? The Mission of God class commits to lay a foundation to begin discovering the Mission of God and each one of our specific roles in it.
Coming Soon!

Discovery Group
​Throughout the course of one year, we desire to discover the Mission of God and each person’s role within it while developing specific, practical tools that Jesus can use as we start living on mission. This is for anyone who has any level of interest in missions to come and explore that potential calling and to encourage one another along the journey of missions! Discovery groups are not a replacement for City Groups, but only meet once a month.
Sign up for a Discovery Group

Goers Group
After walking through the Discovery Group, is God convicting you to GO and serve long-term? If so… Where? Who with? Why? … and How? Join a small, intentional group committed to confirming God’s calling, walking through the steps of obedience in preparation to GO, and be equipped for the various challenges and transitions involved in faithfully stepping into an entirely different world.
