WHAT’S A DISCOVERY TRIP?
Discovery Trips are opportunities to step beyond the borders of your life and discover a world beyond your own. It's an opportunity to encounter God through the eyes of the African culture. It's a chance to get a taste of African Communities and experience what it's like to live on mission.
We call these 1- 2 week African experiences "Discovery trips" vs. "short-term missions trips," because...
On a missions trip you go to help people. On a discovery trip you come to be with people.
On a missions trip you go to speak. On a discovery trip you come to listen.
On a missions trip you go to see the world. On a discovery trip you come to better understand Africa.
On a missions trip you go to accomplish something. On a discovery trip you come to be transformed.
Three elements will run through the discovery trip, because they run through everything we do. Those are the currents of Communion, Community, and Mission. So there will be times of spiritual reflection, worship, or prayer each day. We'll do some exploring together and we'll engage the culture through acts of service, kindness, conversation, and prayer. We'll also throw some adventure into each trip and take you out to see and experience more of the country. Depending on the site, that may be a kayak trip up an ocean inlet, a trip to the Highlands, or a game drive and camping amongst wild animals.
Let us know if you're interested. It might just change your life.
