This is a gospel-centric, service-oriented trip. You'll work at the church's development center (CDI), which serves refugee children from a low-income neighborhood by helping them succeed in school, grow spiritually and have a safe, loving place to be.

You'll also help with the college ministry, H@ngout, connecting with students and engaging in spiritual conversations that we hope lead to gospel opportunities. Many of these students have been hurt by the church, and H@ngout offers steps toward healing through tasting Christ's love.

Evangelism and discipleship among college students

Uppsala is home to about 50,000 university students. With visas being denied in recent years, there's a huge need for workers to come and support what God is doing. Twenty-somethings here are spiritually hungry and willing to talk.

If you've never traveled overseas, this is a great place to start. Training in lifestyle evangelism and discipleship will send you home more confident as a disciple-maker on your own campus.
