One Week.
These 7-10 day trips are designed to give you a taste of what life and ministry looks like in one of our partnership locations. You will spend the week shadowing our long-term team members - visiting classes, meeting friends, and experiencing the culture. You will be travelling with other students, interns and staff, with the goal of immersing yourself into life in that location to see first-hand what ministry is like. If you are curious about what it would be like to be a missionary overseas, this will give you a taste of it - with plenty of opportunities to ask first-hand questions of our ‘Stinters’. Trips usually take place during winter break or spring break.
Christmas Break:
Central Asia: It has been our privilege to send hundreds of U.S. students and professors to this closed country over the past 19 years to share stories, meet new friends, learn about cultures and language, and to share the gospel. Summer trips typically include both students and professors; there are also year-long opportunities for students who want to immerse themselves in the culture, language learning, and ministry for a longer period of time
Spring Break:
Filters of Hope (Costa Rica): These week-long trips are a partnership between Cru and Filters of Hope, a non-profit that provides clean drinking water to families and neighborhoods that previously had none readily available. Students are paired with local pastors and church members and go out into the area to meet people, install and demonstrate water filters, and share the gospel. After our students leave, the local church remains to continue the relationship and serve the families.
Japan: Epic Movement sends Summer Missions to Japan each year, with the hope of connecting Japanese college students with Jesus and to a local community of believers.
