We are expanding our Spring 2027 program by adding a 3-week seminar called Missions EXPLORE Extended that can be combined with Missions EXPLORE field program.

Missions EXPLORE
Part 2: 19 April- 14 May
For Missions EXPLORE you can choose one of two tracks: The Middle East or the Indian Himalayas.
Missions EXPLORE is a 4-week exposure and training program, where you’ll join a team of likeminded people and travel to the Mission field. You’ll visit long-term missionaries and teams working among unreached people groups, the least and the lost.
During the Missions EXPLORE program, you’ll be introduced to a variety of ministries and models for advancing the Kingdom of God in different cultures, people groups and areas of society. Some of the ministries could be:
Church planting among an unreached people group
Ministry among refugees
Language centres and work with students
Ministry among underprivileged women
Missions focused media ministries
Business as Mission projects
The combination of hands on exposure and powerful teaching in a safe environment will help to give you an in-depth and realistic picture of what it means to serve as a long-term missionary, and help you bridge the gap between present perceptions and ideas and the reality on the field. Bridging the gap also means an opportunity to step out of your comfort zone and the culture you are presently living in and engage with a totally different culture and worldview, showing you what it will take to equip you to present the gospel in a new and foreign context.
OPTION 1: INDIAN HIMALAYAS
OPTION 2: THE MIDDLE EAST
