Where Will Our Team Serve?

Within each destination we have multiple church, community and educational partnerships where teams serve. Not all teams serve at the same church, community or educational location.  Trip and team placement is determined based on the skills and giftedness of the traveling team.  All trips are designed to build and develop relationships within the local community that allow local leaders to meet the needs of their community.   Project and service details are finalized 6-8 weeks prior to departure.
