September 2027 World Race | 11 Months 27W09EX - Extreme

Grow with God, serve others, and make a difference in the world.

If you have a heart for reaching the unreached and empowering local believers to make disciples by serving with strategic partners who have a vision to see God move in the less-churched regions of the world, this 11 month outreach opportunity is for you.

Honduras: From its mountains and Mayan ruins to the Caribbean sea, Honduras offers the history, beauty, and adventure you expect in Central America. However, its people are struggling. Home to over eight million people, 36% of the population is under the age of 14. It’s also the 3rd poorest country in the region, with almost 60% either unemployed or underemployed. Many families struggling to survive send their kids to beg or steal. The youth often join gangs and abuse drugs, such as paint thinner. Will you share the love of Jesus in a country hungry for hope?

Colombia: From the Andes Mountains to the Caribbean coastline and the Amazon Rainforest, Colombia is one of the most ecologically diverse countries in the world. Colombia sits at the crossroads of Central and South America, allowing for a widespread diversity of cultures. Currently, there is a large influx of Venezuelan refugees coming through Colombia, putting a strain on its economic resources. Many in Colombia have been affected by homelessness, drug addiction, or violence from drug trafficking, but God is bringing hope and restoration!

Ecuador:  Ecuador is a small country in South America but it is big on culture, hospitality and adventure. Its active volcanoes and lush jungles as well as the Galapagos Islands attract thousands of tourists every year. Known for its relatively stable economy, it has recently become a large hub for refugees from Venezuela. God is doing amazing things in Ecuador as the local church is being strengthened.

Peru:  From the breathtaking Andes Mountains, to the vast coastal deserts, to the lush tropical rainforests of the Amazon Jungle, Peru is one of the most biodiverse countries on Earth. The birthplace of several proud, ancient civilizations, present- day Peru is also home to multiple indigenous groups who blend into a unique and beautiful culture. Many locals maintain ties to their cultural heritage and indigenous beliefs, but a strong movement of the local church is transforming this nation.

Brazil: Brazil is a rising superpower in the world’s economy. This geographically diverse nation is home to a significant evangelical population and many missionaries. While across the nation, large-scale events celebrate Christ, crime, homelessness, and poverty are serious issues in Brazil. Those feeling forgotten and trapped in poverty need to know God sees and cherishes them. Jesus is on the move, will you be His hands and feet in this beautiful country?

Argentina: Buenos Aires is a city marked by both resilience and faith. The Argentine church has endured political upheaval, economic crisis, and cultural indifference while continuing to follow Jesus faithfully. You will serve alongside local ministries in communities where poverty often hides behind closed doors. Families who once lived comfortably now struggle to meet basic needs. Here you’ll encounter a different kind of hardship—one that challenges assumptions and reveals both the fragility and dignity of the people God loves.

Chile: Chilean Patagonia hosts one of the most iconic treks of the journey: Mount Fitz Roy and Laguna de los Tres. The hike begins gently through forest before climbing steeply over loose rock toward a glacial lagoon beneath Fitz Roy’s towering granite face. The challenge pushes your body and reveals the strength of your team as you encourage one another onward. At the summit, turquoise waters, soaring condors, and relentless Patagonian winds create a moment that feels both humbling and holy. Standing at the edge of the world, you’ll discover that the hardest climbs often make the most room for God to work within you.

Morocco: Known for couscous, iconic architecture, and cities like Casablanca, Fes, and Marrakesh, Morocco is a land of spice, beaches, mountains, and desert. With rich cultural influences from the indigenous Berber, Arabic, Sub-Saharan, and European nations, the nation’s second largest industry is tourism. 99% of the population are Sunni Muslim, which means the entire nation lives without the hope of Christ and the life-changing presence of His grace. Will you delve into this culture of works-based religion, strong self-discipline, and uncanny faith, living out the power of the Gospel in a land where it is not known?

Spain: Spain sits on the Western edge of the only post-Christian continent on the planet. One of history’s first global empires, its language is the third most spoken in the world. The birthplace of bullfights, the Inquisition, and tapas, this land of deep passion needs new life breathed into their faith. Though 94% of Spaniards declare themselves Roman Catholic, only 1/4 of the population attends a religious service once a month. Whether you are hiking the Camino de Santiago or sitting at a cafe, will you share your life-changing faith in a land searching for meaning outside of tradition and religion?

Switzerland: The Lauterbrunnen Valley cuts through the Alps beneath towering cliffs, waterfalls, and the legendary peaks of the Eiger, Mönch, and Jungfrau. For centuries, believers built churches and communities here in response to the majesty surrounding them. You’ll hike alpine trails above the treeline, walk beneath the Eiger’s north face, traverse cliffside paths overlooking the valley, and visit the mirror-like waters of Bachalpsee. The Alps are not an escape—they are a reminder that the same God who met you in crowded cities, refugee centers, and forgotten villages is also present in places of breathtaking beauty. Alongside local ministry partners, you’ll spend time in community, reflection, and debrief, sharing stories of how God has shaped you and preparing to return home changed.
