Have you dreamed of seeing the world and making a difference for God? Sometimes keeping up with friends on Facebook, mastering Guitar Hero, and picking a new cell-phone plan crowd out those goals.

It’s time to make a change. Join a Challenge Your Priorities trip and you’ll experience some of the most interesting cultures in the world and discover something about yourself as well. These trips will test you both physically and spiritually, but the challenge will be worth it. And hey - the pictures you bring back will look really cool on Facebook.

Understand Islamic Culture

 Immerse yourself in a cross-cultural training program by living with a national family in North Africa. You'll study Arabic and travel to cities where you'll conduct research for future ministry projects. Potential outcomes: learn to minister effectively among unreached people; find opportunities for future ministry.

Befriend Gypsies in Eastern Europe

 Live with a Gypsy family—possibly with no indoor plumbing—as you partner with a Gypsy church planter. Observe the social challenges and the tendency for adults to remain unbelievers. Potential outcome: help national leaders reach people for Christ and address social problems.

Trek Across Eurasia

 Travel to the countryside around the Caucasus Mountains and experience the spiritual climate firsthand. You'll explore part of this area through an organized trek, which involves physical challenges. But the more meaningful challenge will be spiritual. Potential outcome: plant seeds for a future village house church.

Camp in Adventurous Eastern Europe

 Are you aware that it is sometimes necessary to conduct secretive outdoor camps in secluded areas, away from the prying eyes of officials? If you’re willing to give up comfort and security, you can partner with Eastern European believers to conduct a one-week, organized camp ministry. Potential outcomes: encourage believers to grow in and share their faith; lead nonbelievers to Christ.
