Short-term international missions, helping young adults experience missions first-hand around the world. Real People, Real Needs, Life-To-Life Ministry! Global Encounters has two goals: 1.To serve in foreign countries by sharing the Gospel, teaching Biblical truth, demonstrating Christ’s love, and meeting practical needs. We do this by working with and supporting those who have a long-term investment in the country (pastors, missionaries, churches, schools, orphanages, etc.) 2. To disciple young people by providing hands-on ministry opportunities and a team structure that focuses on discipleship. The types of ministry projects we organize bring team members face-to-face with real needs and challenges – often changing their hearts and perspectives on life forever – while the team leaders are there to disciple and mentor the team through the experience. This is the short version of explaining our vision. If you want more information, please explore further in the “About” section of our website http://globalencounter.com/about/.
