Come to Southeast Asia! Come and serve with one of our Summit field partners mistering to university students in a beautifully diverse jungle megapolis. Every major world religion is here, people are worshiping idols in search of hope, and yet the Kingdom of God is not yet known. You will encourage, sustain, pray with, and serve alongside our Summit field partner as they work to reach students from all over the world. Come and be a part of God's mission of reconciliation among the lost.

International marketplace ministry is a means of leveraging your career field to take the Gospel to the unreached by joining a church plant or partnering with a missionary team. In November we will be visiting such a team of marketplace workers (including professionals, employees of companies, and entrepreneurs) who are co-laboring with a missionary team in a rapidly growing urban setting in the Middle East comprised predominantly of Muslim people from all over the world. Participants will have the opportunity to connect with the team working in this city, explore employment opportunities, experience the culture firsthand, fellowship with other believers working there, and participate in a Faith and Work conference with marketplace workers from across the region. Preparation for this trip includes updating your LinkedIn profile (or resume) to share with the team so they can possibly assist in arranging meetings with employers and business contacts while there and to allow a potential employer to find you if searching for a candidate.

The Japanese people are the second largest unreached people group in the world and often resistant to the Gospel. As our missionaries open a church mobilization center in Tokyo, our team is invited to help train Japanese pastors in evangelism, kids/students ministry, small groups, and everything in between! Our primary focus is to care for our missionaries and spur them as they labor daily in the harvest via long-term relationships. Some days this will look like prayer walking with our Ms, evangelism, discipleship, visiting churches, helping in outreach, etc. You will be equipped with everything you need for a week of ministry, just make sure you bring a heart ready to serve and care!

This is an exciting opportunity to visit, encourage, and help our local missionaries in a major city located in the Horn of Africa. We will be exploring the city, sharing in homes, prayer walking, and trying to gain access to new neighborhoods by reaching the local context.

This team will be partnering with a local church to help them reach their community and implement their new discipleship strategy. We will explore the city as we prayer walk, and will use team members' specific gifts to help strengthen and encourage the local body of believers.

Our team will be visiting one of our Summit missionaries involved with starting a church planting network with local German pastors. We will learn the history of Christianity in the area, go on prayer walks, visit key historical sites, and learn about urban ministry from German church planters and leaders. The trips we are offering, are much different than a classic missions trip that involves going on the street and evangelizing. It would be very hard in our context and culture to do that because of the language barrier and it would actually probably do more damage than good being on the streets trying to talk with people in a language they do not speak. Therefore, there is always a question about how to use a team most effectively. We have come up with a hybrid trip where it will join a Church Plant for a weekend to encourage them and partner with them in prayer and fellowship, but also using the time as a discipleship/leadership trip for our church by looking at the Reformation, WW2, and Cold War sites to talk about leadership and conviction as a Christian in the midst of adversity. It is a tool to inform and teach about the church in Germany and calling people to missions locally and globally. This trip would not be for the individual who wants to be on the street daily passing out tracts, but it could be for anyone, even whole families, or father/sons or husband/wife who want to partner with a Church Plant and to challenge their faith.

We are going to a mega city that serves as the cultural, financial, and economic center of the country. We will be spending time in the city and working with one of our Summit families who are currently living and serving there. We will get to know them, pray with them, and encourage them as they serve amongst some of the most unreached people groups in the world. We will have opportunities to engage with different ministries and care for those that are far from God but close to our missionaries geographically.
