Students will discover their personal, God given mission by learning more about their Burdens, Passions, and Vision from God. They’ll serve alongside key urban ministries, learning how a personal mission can contribute to the overall Kingdom of God. Students will also participate in the Mission Race, a downtown team-based competitive learning experience.

Students learn to lead while embracing a community. LeaderTreks staff will plan every aspect, but gradually hand off leadership of the team house and worksite to students as the trip progresses. By the end of the trip, nearly every component will be student led. Students will also plan, prepare, and lead a 3 day VBS for local children.

Bring on the challenge! This trip is completely student-led trip. From food to worksite to VBS, every aspect is planned and led by students. This trip will push students well out of their comfort zones, but prepare them for real ministry and real life.

Hi, I’m Brenda. I have served in youth ministry since I was in college, and I have been on/led several mission trips over the years.
I love the role I now have at LeaderTreks, supporting and equipping the interns and trip leaders as they lead our summer trips.
