    LEAD MISSIONS Nicaragua is an exciting partnership with a local ministry, Nicaragua Resource Network (NRN), which has been incarnationally serving in Managua and the surrounding area since 1988. We are excited to partner with them in work projects, food distribution, serving local churches and in the local schools. International missions is the ultimate “out of your comfort zone” experience for all who go. Learning how to be mission-minded and advance the Kingdom through a language barrier makes bringing that heart and mission home seem easy! This is sure to be a major discipleship, maturity and growth experience! As a reward for all the hard work groups are able to see a volcano, swing in the ocean and many more “gotta do it while we’re here” type experiences to immerse in the culture. We hope you’ll join us!

    Twin Cities continues to be a great location to see Kingdom transformation through and in your students! We partner with different ministries all over the Twin Cities that are reaching the poor, hurting, lonely, and spiritually lost. Your students will be confronted with the reality of poverty in the US, cross-cultural tensions, and opportunities to present the Gospel to those who are far from Jesus. Add to these experiences the training, leadership development, and mentoring elements are woven into each day of this trip is sure to bear fruit for God's Kingdom both here in the Twin Cities, as well as back home as youth pastors and students alike, return to their churches with the same heart of living a life of mission and mentorship. Our plan for the ministry this trip also includes continuing to serve into the evening with some of our partners. After the work is done for the trip, teams can enjoy some of the many entertaining spots around the area like the Mall of America, Valley Fair, the Minnesota Twins, and/or any of our beautiful lakes and beaches. We hope you'll join us as we see God's Kingdom advance through us in the Twin Cities and in our hearts as we grow as men, women, leaders, and followers of Jesus.
