PP Summer 2016 Thailand/Cambodia

 Join this Passport team to both Thailand and Cambodia!    Behind Thailand’s beautiful beaches, booming tourism, and the country’s ever-smiling faces lies a terrible secret: modern day slavery. Thailand’s red-light districts attract an ugly side of tourism. Thousand of people, even children, are exploited as prostitutes.

PP Summer 2016 Zambia

   Zambia boasts one of the seven wonders of the world, the rushing heights of Victoria Falls, known as “the smoke that thunders”.

PP Summer 2016 Nepal

Nepal is home to the world’s tallest mountain: Everest. It looms 28,000 feet over the fertile plains and dusty city streets peppered with colorful prayer flags draped from every rooftop.

Even so, Christianity is on the rise – especially after the earth shook April 15, 2015. With no where else to turn, homes in shambles, and loved ones injured or gone, the hope of Christ is beginning to take root. Churches are growing,...
