Home to El Camino de Santiago, or the Way of St. James. Pilgrims throughout the ages have travelled this spiritual path, marked by scallop shells and lit by the Milky Way. However, this land of deep passion is also one of great apathy. 10% of the population is atheist and while 69% call themselves Roman Catholic, only a quarter of the nation attends a religious service once a month. While walking the same path as pilgrims from centuries past, your trek through northwest Spain will be one of the heart: the journey of your relationship with God, of this nation’s need for Christ, and of his deep, never-ending love for those who have rejected his name.

Romania is in the heart of Eastern Europe. The country is home to many Romanians who are familiar with the Orthodox Church and Roma people who are among the least reached in the country. Among both groups, faithful Romanian missionaries are evangelizing, discipling, and planting churches and people are starting to choose to live for Jesus. Will you choose to join these missionaries as they reach their towns, region, and continent with the Gospel?

Our ministry partner, Hope Church, is a community dedicated to growing and impacting people with the hope of Christ on a local, regional, and international scope. Through training local, Romanian missionaries, the church has planted several churches throughout Southern Romania and has expanded their outreach to other countries in the Balkans. Our teams assist Hope Church with their outreaches on college campuses, to the Roma community, and children’s programs.

Due to its mountainous terrain, Kyrgyzstan is completely isolated from its neighbors—and has one of the most preserved ancient cultures in the world. As a crossroads of ancient civilizations on the Great Silk Road and a land of nomads, its people are an almost pristine picture of the great warriors who walked the land centuries ago. The birthplace of Islam for Central Asia, Kyrgyzs consider themselves more cultural Muslims than devout practitioners. While in Kyrgyzstan you will share the ancient truth of how God, the ultimate warrior, conquered death so they can live victoriously.

This is one of the most populated areas of the world, with over 1 Billion people calling the region home. People mainly practice Hinduism and over 95% of people are still unreached with the Gospel.

We are seeing the Lord move in powerful ways in this part of the world through several new church plants. Partner with the local church by training and encouraging pastors as they reach their neighbors and plant churches that multiply into more churches. As you minister with local believers, you may also assist with programs for children and adults with special needs.

Thailand is known by many as “The Land of Smiles”. Though an alluring tourist destination, Thailand’s glimmering cities and sandy beaches are marred by the dark reputation of sex trafficking and sex tourism. Nearly 90% of the population is unreached with the Gospel.
Here you will have the opportunity to reveal the truth of Jesus to a deeply unreached country by helping train and encourage local believers to share the Gospel with their neighbors and plant churches, which will multiply to more churches. You will intercede for those trapped in human trafficking through prayer walks and come alongside organizations that are helping rescue and restore those caught in the sex trade industry.
