Our coming to them will serve as a tremendous blessing and source of rejoicing for them, particularly after being isolated because of Covid. Additionally, we will also engage in a few evangelistic opportunities as well and actively invite people to the church.

go seasons
2 Months – 2 Years
GO Season are mid-term trips, from around two months to two years. Given the extended time of the trip, the shape of GO Seasons can look quite a bit different from shorter GO Trips. While GO Seasons are open to anyone, they often the best fit for someone who is in college or is retired.

Ft. Collins, CO

Portugal
Western Europe is largely post-Christian, and as such, many have quite a limited understand of the gospel — if any at all. On this Go Season, you’ll be working with our partner in Portugal in various community outreach and other opportunities. Ideally, for this opportunity, it will be 1-2 males. As with all Go Seasons, being a motivated self-starter, staying teachable, and keeping your eyes and heart on Jesus is key.
