An adventure awaits you in Puerto Rico! From the 200 foot cliffs of Cabo Rojo to the ancient streets of San Juan, Puerto Rico is known for its exotic beaches and relaxed Caribbean culture.  However, life on this island isn’t perfect. Almost half of the population lives below the poverty line and it is difficult to find jobs.  Will you share the love of Jesus in Puerto Rico? Ministry: Our host in Puerto Rico, Camp Caribe, holds a high performance, competitive event for youth every year called UNICHALLENGE. Teams come from all over the island to experience challenges,...

An adventure awaits you in Montego Bay, Jamaica! Jamaica’s beauty attracts millions of tourists every year, but poverty lurks just beyond the resort gates. Lush mountains descend to white, sandy beaches. High in the hills, families crowd into ramshackle houses, little more than sheds. And those families are the lucky ones.

As the Thai economy strengthens and the natural beauty draws visitors, tourism of a different sort also flourishes. Human trafficking and sexual tourism continue to grow. Buddhism teaches that a person’s future is predetermined by karma. Because males can go to the temple,...

Serve God in Mae Sot, Thailand, in Refugee and Children’s Ministry! Mae Sot sits on the border of Thailand and Burma, a stone’s throw from “No Man’s Land”, the strip of land not claimed by either nation. Residents of this area are Burmese refugees who Thailand refuses to accept into their population. Technically not citizens of either country, they live in crudely made huts and are governed by the “chief” of the area. Uprooted, they are essentially an abandoned people. These families need to know they are wanted. Ministry: When you join us in...
