City Life Local 2020

RDU 5/16/2020 to 7/16/2020 $450.00

City Life (CL) is about equipping college students to connect their faith to their work in the marketplace. Through CL, we hope to demonstrate how your work matters to God and how you can leverage your passions and skills in your vocation for the mission of God. CL is a hands-on, theological, and marketplace practicum to teach students how to make disciples that make disciples in the marketplace and be excellent in their future careers. In CL Local, students work a summer-long internship within their field of study. Once a week, they meet in D-groups to discuss what they are reading and how it applies to their jobs. Throughout the summer, students attend weekend forums where they will learn about faith and work integration from those who work within the marketplace. If you want to understand the significance of your future career and how you can leverage it for the gospel, then CL is for you! City Life is open to college students only.

Various Cities 5/19/2020 to 7/16/2020 $5,150.00

City Project is a two-month, intensive discipleship and missional experience where college students serve locally, nationally, and internationally. City Project includes one week in New York City, five weeks in Durham, and two weeks overseas. Students learn how to apply the gospel to every aspect of their lives and make disciples who make disciples. These eight weeks immerse students in the local church and global cities and teach them how to practically love God, love each other, and love our world. Students travel to New York City for one week to engage Muslims, Hindus, Sikhs, and Buddhists with the gospel. The middle of the summer includes several weeks in Wake Forest, North Carolina, receiving practical theological and ministry training by pastors at the Summit. During this time, students will learn to effectively share the gospel and give their lives away in RDU in response to the gospel. During the last two weeks of the summer, students will travel abroad to serve alongside Summit church planters. This is an excellent opportunity to explore the mission of God, develop a heart for the nations, and better understand what it means to leverage your life for the gospel of Jesus Christ. City Project is open to college students only.

Southeast Asia

August 2020

Join us in serving and encouraging a young family on the field on an island in Southeast Asia. Pray with them, sip tea with their national friends, and watch as the Holy Spirit moves to bring the Kingdom here.

Europe

August 2020

Join us as we support our long-term field partners through their adventure & ecotourism business. Where we’re going is incredibly beautiful, but remains hostile to the gospel. Our prayer is that we would be able to open strategic doors for our Summit family’s business and for the gospel to go forward! This will be a time for intercessional prayer & worker encouragement; a time for us to grow in discipleship, listen to God and each other.

East Africa

October 2020

Our team will have the privilege of visiting Summit church planters who have lived in Central Asia with their young family for 10 years!

October 2020

Join our church-planters in East Asia in a country with one of the greatest populations of lost and unreached people. As you see people on the subway or in a restaurant, you can assume that none of them have ever heard of Jesus. Your prayers and encouragement are vital to our Summit family as they carry out the Great Commission here!

Middle East

November 2020

Our team will be visiting Summit members who are serving in the Middle East. We will spend time encouraging and working with the family there in hopes of building them up as we engage with their culture and ministry. We will also spend time meeting locals, sharing meals, and helping with their local business.

Sweden

November 2020

Our team will be serving in Vasteras, sharing the good news of the gospel with university students. Sweden is a beautiful, vibrant country with a spiritual darkness that desperately needs the light that the gospel brings! We'll be serving, encouraging, and drinking coffee with our long-term Summit members, who've been living and working there since 2012. We will host Thanksgiving dinner and game nights as we seek to meet people hungry for the Gospel, connecting them to our long-term field workers, who can continue to build relationships with them and share the Gospel.

South Asia

November 2020

Our team will join in with local workers as they strive to plant healthy, reproducing churches among the greatest concentration of lostness on earth. We will go ready to learn from, and serve, a colourful and rich culture vastly different than our own!

South Africa

December 2020

We will be experiencing the rich culture of Johannesburg, a city well known for its historical racial division and more recent reconciliation. We will be serving alongside missionaries who have served in Johannesburg for nearly 20 years. We will support our Summit families on the field through evangelism, prayer walks and children ministry as we work to be ambassadors of reconciliation for Christ, making an impact for the Gospel in the suburbs of Johannesburg.

West Africa

December 2020

Join us in West Africa as we continue to support local efforts to advance the Gospel through partnerships with local healthcare professionals, expanding/developing the current healthcare infrastructure, and simultaneously creating opportunities for church planting.

This is a French speaking region, although fluency is not a requirement. Conditions may be austere at times. A willingness to learn, be flexible, and see the big picture are helpful. All medical specialties are encouraged to apply. For ease of travel and mobility, the team will be kept small.
