MISSION TRIPS
At Advance the Faith, our mission work is guided by James 1:27, “Religion that God our Father accepts as pure and faultless is this: to look after orphans and widows in their distress and to keep oneself from being polluted by the world.” If you decide to join us on a trip to one of our locations, you will notice how important this Scripture is to the success of the trip and your experience. Year after year we return to the same places to build relationships that show trust and ongoing care for the young people we are called to serve.
This mission trip works with high school students from two different children’s homes in Nassau. You will be working with a smaller group of students to really make a big individual impact. During the camp they will learn Christian leadership skills, life skills, and more, all while being empowered to become a positive, influential person in their homes and community. 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. We will also have a chance to connect with some of our friends from the children’s homes on Cat Island and Nassau at the Alumni dinner.
This trip is open to trip participants who are college age or older.
