We have two major, intersecting passions: helping young people fully encounter Jesus and bringing the tangible hope of Jesus to our world.  This connection of discipleship and mission brings lasting, supernatural change to both this new generation and to the nations.  It’s beautiful! 

Each year we mentor young adults through a 9-month journey where we serve together in communities across our beautiful world.  Our days are spent coming alongside local organizations who are already addressing their community’s greatest physical, emotional and spiritual needs.  We watch students come alive as they find ways to daily bring God’s kingdom down to earth by actively living and loving like Jesus.

We spend months in the slums of South Africa where the longstanding effects of apartheid have left people hopeless and jobless.  We help provide education for children, build relationships within the community, and service baby boxes–where desperate mothers find an alternative option for their soon to be abandoned babies.  We live in remote Cambodian villages where the physical and emotional effects of the Khmer Rouge genocide continues to affect families daily.  We teach English and health classes, help with clean water efforts and bring hope to a people drenched in the unending works-based worldview of Buddhism.  And we trek into regions where malnutrition is a constant battle, human slavery is around every bend and the name of Jesus has never been heard.  

Through it all, we’re able to walk with our 18-20 year olds as they make lasting decisions about the kind of life they want to live.  Whether it’s corporate America, work as an African missionary or something else entirely, they’re experiencing what it looks like to live as active members of God’s kingdom.  Who can experience the rich, full love of God and the power of His Holy Spirit and not be transformed forever?
