Highlights: History & Culture
Applicants should be military personnel who graduated and commissioned from a service academy or ROTC units in 2025. Spouses welcome also. Inquire for exceptions.
Launch your active military service by gaining a deeper heart, vision, and experience in reaching the unreached people of the world you will likely naturally encounter in your future military context. This trip will emphasize contextualizing what you experience on this trip to apply it in the course of your military service, and beyond.
Invest part of your post-graduation leave to partner in this unique, adventurous opportunity through a business dedicated to spreading the gospel in remote fishing villages. You will seamlessly integrate with your host family, immersing in the slowed down lifestyle of the local people—a journey that offers a refreshing break from the modern western lifestyle.
Impact tourists are known for their love of adventure, culinary exploration, adaptability, and their eagerness to go with the flow of everyday life. Beyond the adventure, your participation plays a pivotal role in advancing this business’ multi-decade mission to reach the surrounding unreached and unengaged communities.
Forge meaningful relationships, engage in spiritual conversations, develop a deeper heart and vision for God’s global calling, and actively contribute to the expansion of the gospel and the Kingdom of God. Join us on this extraordinary journey.
