NieuCommunities is a collective of missional communities scattered around the world each committed to developing followers of God in the way of Jesus.

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.

• Deric and Amber, a young couple who were leading a hugely successful youth ministry at their local church, but who were eager to make a difference in the world beyond the one they already knew.

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