This 13-day journey is designed as an in-depth study and pilgrimage into the life and ministry of Paul in Greece, Turkey and Rome. By interrelating the Bible with ancient history, archaeology, geography, and ancient Greek and Jewish literature, Paul’s words and life come alive within his Jewish and Hellenistic worlds. Two of the goals of this study pilgrimage are to root the Christian story in the Land of the Bible and bring alive the Bible in new and powerful ways. On-site instruction and group discussions, with Bibles in hand, will be part of the daily field trips. We hope this journey will not just be a chance to see and learn, but also to be transformed in pilgrimage.
This is an experience where you will immerse yourself in the beauty and traditions of Addis Ababa and surrounding areas of Ethiopia. You will find Ethiopia rich in culture but faced with poverty, both economically and spiritually. This will be an unforgettable experience as you share the life changing love of Jesus with the people you meet.
This is a 10-day mission experience where we will have the opportunity to serve with ministry partners which include feeding programs, community outreach, orphanages, rural communities, and fair-trade businesses. Our ministry will also focus on children faced with poverty, loving and caring for those in orphanages, making home visits and delivering food baskets. We will be working with our ministry partners, Impact One to serve the local church and community.
In Guatemala we will have the opportunity to share Christ and the message of Hope as we partner with Manna Worldwide. Our ministry opportunities will include work projects, service projects, home visits along with helping out at surrounding feeding centers.
One of our highlights of the trip will be visiting and working with the children at our orphanage and the San Lucus Feeding Center and our church plant, whom we financially partner with and support on a monthly basis. These kids love interaction with adults and we always try to do something special with the kids when visiting the orphanage and feeding center. Some of the ideas we have done in the past few years at the orphanage have included, VBS, games, taking the kids to the zoo, movie night, fixing a Thanksgiving dinner and once, we even surprised them with a Christmas tree and gifts.
