International Mission Opportunities
While loving our neighbors is always easier in our communities, an international mission trip can be a life-changing experience. We subscribe to the concept of Asset Based Community Development (ABCD). Thus, we believe innovations, solutions, and leaders are already present in that community, and we have something to learn when we enter. We value partnerships with local pastors, professionals, and other indigenous leaders. We listen to the wisdom of those who live in these communities, and ask how we can be good, empowering partners in ministry. Click below to learn more about our international mission opportunities.
