A Hub Model of International Engagement:
We are passionate about partnering with ministries that we know and trust, and who continue to minister sustainably in their communities with or without us. Our new hub model will enable us to serve our partners more effectively while also giving Racers great opportunities to engage in a variety of ministries!
Each region will have a hub country () with a host that we have a deep relationship with. Racers will receive cultural and ministry training from hub leaders that will prepare them to effectively engage in their region. Then hub leaders will work with the squad leadership and will mobilize them to meet needs and engage in ministry opportunities () in surrounding countries.
Thus, your squad will go to the hub countries listed on your route, and you may go to any number of the surrounding countries in which we have ministry opportunities, depending on the current needs and opportunities available. And it is going to be AMAZING!
*This is, of course, dependant on the availability of ministry and openness of the country to international visitors.

Where They're Going - What They’ll Do
Location: Granada
Ministry: REAP Granada / Adventures in Missions Base
Focus: Prayer Walking, Sports Ministry, Community Outreach, Prison Ministry, Community Development.
Called “The Land of Lakes and Volcanoes,” thick rainforests, rugged highlands, and beautiful beaches define Nicaragua’s landscape. Its rich history dates back to the Spanish conquistadores. However, hopelessness, addiction, destitution, and poverty plague many in Nicaragua. The poorest nation in Central America, almost 80% of Nicaraguans live on less than $2 a day. One in four Nicaraguans is either starving or suffering from malnutrition. Entire families live on and scrounge for scraps in city dumps. The people of Nicaragua need to know they are seen, loved, and not forgotten by God.
Our Adventures in Missions base and ministry partner, REAP Granada, believes that transformation in Nicaragua happens through relationship. These relationships come from various Touchpoints in the community. Ranging from meeting people on the basketball court to working together on the farm to discipling men and women in Bible study, Touchpoints drive both our mission and vision to transform lives through a personal relationship with Jesus Christ.

Ecuador is a small country in South America but it is big on culture, hospitality and adventure.

God is doing amazing things in Ecuador as the local church is being strengthened to reach their neighbors with the Gospel.
Serve alongside our ministry partner and Adventures in Missions Ecuador base, Inca Link! Inca Link is focused on resourcing, enabling and empowering their national Inca Link organizations to reach the 300 million youth in Latin America with Christ’s irresistible love.

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.
