EDGE

On the edge about your part in God’s plan for the nations? At our six-night Edge program, you can discover missions through experiential activities about culture and language that can be applied cross culturally or in your own community.
Participants practice teamwork as they learn the basics of Bible story crafting, experience other cultures, take flight with a missionary pilot, ride a 4WD vehicle on JAARS’ off-road course, practice water safety skills, overcome obstacles to missions, and walk our experiential Prayer Path– all while living at Belisi, our rustic village setting.

Age/Group Size: Edge is designed for ages 12 and over and accommodates groups of 12-30 in size.
Program cost: $300/group registration, plus $220/person for groups of 12 or more.

EQUIP

Equip yourself and your team to serve more effectively on a short-term, cross cultural trip. During our two or three night Equip program, you will learn how to adapt to a cross cultural setting by staying in our rustic village. Grow with the rest of your team by exploring the tough issues faced when travelling overseas. You’ll experience team activities that will help you to work cooperatively and with purpose, plus learn from the stories of experienced missionaries.

*Note: This program is intended for groups who are already scheduled to go on a cross cultural trip as a means of preparing for that trip!

Age/Group Size: Equip is designed for ages 12 and over and accommodates groups of 12-30 in size. 
Program cost: $75/group registration, plus $69/person for groups of 12 or more.

Listen to missionaries’ stories and explore God’s Word in the intimate setting of a campfire.
