Ecuador Team
We believe the world is not the way it should be. All around we see hurt, brokenness, injustice, and poverty. However, we believe God has not given up on His Creation and is actively working to restore the world back to Himself. This is ultimately manifest in the person and work of Jesus Christ.

Nashville Team
“At the Nashville Rescue Mission and spent time serving part of one of the largest bodies of homeless people in the U.S. We’ve never seen men happier about serving in a cafeteria or eating hamburgers, potato chips, fries and apple sauce. Watching the students smile, speak, and serve was a great experience.” – Donny Johnson, chaperone – Nashville, 2018

Phoenix Team
As God’s people we have the privilege of participating in His mission of restoration. In and of ourselves we do not add anything to God’s mission, but rather we are empowered by the Holy Spirit to declare and demonstrate the gospel. Over the face of the globe the Spirit is using God’s people to transform lives, feed the hungry, provide relief to the suffering, and restore what is broken. We send out mission teams with the prayer that we would align ourselves with God’s work within the world.

The Yucatán trip was an amazing opportunity for our students to minister and pray with individuals in a small medical facility in Valladolid, Mexico. The students were able to participate and observe very extensive medical procedures, in addition, to assist in building a house in the village for a single mom of six children. It was amazing to see the Holy Spirit work through our team!” – Jeremy Richards, chaperone – Yucatán, 2018
