THE MISSION
|
EXPERIENCE SERVICE
Our hearts behind this summer is not to belittle the fact that you work hard, but you will get the chance to experience what true servanthood looks like. Mark 9:35 says, "If anyone wants to be first, he shall be last of all and servant of all." We desire to see that same attitude as you diligently serve. There are many departments in which practical skills are used such as housekeeping, dining room, coffee shop, etc. Your service will ultimately be unto the Lord above all. Be apart of a team that's passionate about refreshing the people of God through the ministry of service. |
ENCOUNTER JESUS
Those coming to serve this summer will be given opportunity to grow in their relationships with the Lord in ways that they have never encountered. While on earth Jesus was the perfect example of living in communion with His Father while selflessly serving others. We desire the same in those who come. This will entail daily devotions, sharing testimonies, corporate prayer and worship nights, and fellowship. Have an expectant heart to encounter Jesus and be open to growing in many different ways. |
EXPLORE CULTURE
Go beyond the tourist facade of visiting new countries and explore with us local cultures both past and present, being exposed to different languages, sights, smells, tastes, and a diversity of people for both an exhilarating and overwhelming experience. You will be able to explore Austria and the surrounding countries, expanding your cultural knowledge while furthering the kingdom of God. |
