Interested in Summer Missions?

In the past, we have sent teams to: Dates for 2021 have not been set.

(LAUP)
Los Angeles Urban Project 

The LAUP Six-Week Summer Internship gives students a real-life experience of living out their values by sending them in teams to partner with community-based organizations that address the social issues of the city.
​You will live among the poor, go to church in urban communities, and live on a fixed-income comparable to the residents in their neighborhoods.
In the midst of this experience, you will receive teaching from a Christian perspective on the biblical values of service, justice, and compassion, as well as receive regular training in leadership, teamwork, and decision-making.

​This combination of hands-on experience and training will equip you to use your life to combat the social, economic, and spiritual challenges of our world.

Ghana
​Global Project

The Ghana Global Program is a five-week experience  living with a Ghanaian family, teaching and doing physical labor at a school (pre-K through 8th), and entering into the mutually transformative partnership between Ghana and the Adom Foundation.
​
Ghanaian Pastor Joseph Mante has nurtured relationships between a poor village outside Kumasi and the InterVarsity Greater Los Angeles region.  The result has been the formation of the amazing grace school, which now outperforms private schools while still serving children who could not afford to attend public school.

​Participation involves language learning in cross-cultural training, raising around $3,000 of support, and participating in orientation and debriefing activities.

​This is a great experience for anyone wanting to learn about international development, the history of race relations and slavery between the US and Africa, or ministry to the poor and marginalized.

Thailand

*Build genuine friendships with Muslim students who may not have any friends that know Jesus
*Have the chance to share about their life with Jesus with a Muslim friend
*Help create and maintain momentum for the continued work of pioneering an IFES movement in a Muslim country
