There & Back Again:
changed by the journey
Join us Sunday, December 6 at 8pm EST/ 5pm PST for an online roundtable discussion & stories from the first rolecall Apprentice Cohort & Advance Team who have returned from their field assignments. Bring your questions and your own stories!
42% of the world does not have access to the Gospel.
Our next generation brings gifts to the table that uniquely equip them for this task.
Gen Z is the most ethnically diverse generation in history
They are globally connected, shaped by a shared digital culture that gives them common ground
They are relationally driven, comfortable crossing cultural, class, race, and generational lines
They are entrepreneurial and co-vocational, equipped to innovate and launch anywhere
We have an opportunity, as global mission senders, to pivot and meet the needs of equipping them. Our Cross-cultural Apprenticeship, Advance Teams and Pilgrimage give the next generation hands-on experience, discipleship, challenging study, and a place to innovate, all while receiving support and mentoring as they explore serving cross-culturally.

Goals
To gain an understanding of God’s mission in the world while serving alongside experienced workers and local leaders.
To facilitate the next generation in engaging their vocation, wherever and whatever it is, with God’s mission to reach those who do not know him, with a special focus on those places without access to the Gospel.
To provide formative opportunities for the next generation of cross-cultural workers for effective disciple-making amongst the unreached and marginalized peoples of our world.
To provide a platform for those exploring cross-cultural work.
To provide support through: a cohort of peers, a long-term worker in their field placement, a professional counselor, their sending church and additional coaching from experienced workers as they launch out and face new challenges.
To discover their gifts, skills and aptitudes and how they can contribute to God’s global mission.
To practice a conspicuously spiritual lifestyle so it becomes a pattern of life and to develop a ministry plan for whatever is next for them.
