It's for people like...

• Trish, a 27-year old school teacher who felt God was calling her into missions, but who needed to taste it and feel it first.

• Sarah, fresh out of grad school and looking to make a difference in her generation. She just needed some time, a unique experience, and a community to help her clarify her calling and engage it.

• Chris, a 22-year old dreamer on his way to Amsterdam to help birth a new kind of church, but who knew he needed a little more prep first.

It's for people who are ready to go beyond where they've been and change the trajectory of their lives. [+ more]
