Granada, Spain
Join us as we partner with the Galyens serving their university ministry, Raíces! Less than 0.5% of people claim a personal relationship with Jesus in Granada. We will conduct student interviews on campus, pray over the city, and share the message of Christ. At night, we build relationships with students over tapas and host events at the ministry center in the heart of Granada.

Join us on our visit to the Indian Ocean! This island nation is home to pristine beaches and thousands of unreached Muslims. We will serve alongside and bless a team that is passionately devoted to making Jesus' name great. Our week will include learning about Ramadan, teaching English to islanders, prayer walking the city streets, sharing traditional food with locals, and learning the realities of life as a worker among the Unreached.

Mediterranean
We are heading to a brand new location this year! Join us for a Spring Break mission trip to the Mediterranean in a country where just 0.4% of the population knows Jesus personally. We will engage in university ministry by handing out coffee, having conversations with students, and building relationships over meals and events. Activities also include prayer walking, helping with local church projects, and attending seminars on ministry among secular people groups in Europe.

With little church or ministry presence in the northeast, we'll spend time serving alongside the Chi Alpha group at Buffalo State and pray for God to move in this city of over 50,000 college students! Our team will do outreach on campus, have meals with students, and share what we love about Chi Alpha. If you have a heart to serve and to share the love of Christ with others, come to Buffalo!
