*Community city and home to home outreaches

You'll love Antigua's ancient cobblestone streets, colonial architecture, parks, and restaurants, all surrounded by beautiful sleeping volcanos. Antigua is the cultural hub of Guatemala and draws tourists from all around the world, but on its outskirts are families who struggle to earn enough money for basic food and shelter. Children as young as seven often give up the chance for education to help sustain their families.
Our team will reach out to bring hope, joy, and the love of God to Antigua, as we partner with local ministries and an amazing local church, to disrupt the darkness of poverty and provide some hands-on help through food distribution and sharing the good news of the Gospel that God cares, has mercy, and a plan for their lives. Our outreaches will continue serve to brighten the future of Antigua as the Word of God will never return empty!

Chiang Mai, Thailand
Missions Adventure
July 18 - August 3, 2025
$3,975
Nestled in the mountains of northern Thailand, the city of Chiang Mai is quickly developing into an influential voice to the rest of the country, and very open to the gospel. We have partnered with a great missionaries/ministry and a gospel-centered church seeking to continue building a worshipping, Gospel community—one that impacts people’s everyday lives through relationships, home to home prayer and ministry, worship, red-light district outreaches, church ministry, children's ministry, school and orphanages and more. The gospel can transform lives and through the many opportunities offered to share the gospel, we guarantee that lives will be changed and an eternal impact will be made.
Our village trip to northern Thailand is home to a number of ethnic minority groups known broadly as "the hill tribes," each of which maintains its own culture, language and dress. Centuries-old cycles of poverty have left thousands of hill tribe children without parents, without education, and without hope...we plan on bringing the hope of Christ to the the hill tribes of Thailand.
Our free days will consist of visiting the Patara Elephant Farm (or Mountain Elephant Sanctuary) where we will spend a once-in-a-lifetime day as an "Elephant owner for a day." You will experience bathing and brushing an elephant in the river, bare-back riding your elephant through a forest and to a waterfall, feed and check its health, and learn to communicate with it through certain spoken commands. (as seen on The Amazing Race,) Other adventures during our free days will consist of shopping at the Chiang Mai gate market, experiencing all the amazing food at the night bazaar, attending a cultural dinner and traditional Thai dance, and be part of an unbelievable full-day of kayaking and caving during our Jungle Tour!
Apply early and be a part of a life-changing time in Thailand, summer of 2025!
