Our trips are open to Christ-followers who want to bring the light of Christ and hope of the Gospel to young people. If you are ready to change your life by investing in someone’s future, we invite you to apply to participate.

Some of the potential places you may visit during your trip include: the world-famous Nassau Straw Market, the Fish Fry, and additional local stores and attractions.
