3-Month Missions Outreach |

|
Disciples of all nations… After the first block of the BMS in Karlsruhe, we will depart on a 3-month missions trip as a whole school. The destination of the outreach will vary from year to year.
Go and make disciples of all nations – that is God’s call to us. Through this outreach time, we want to reach people of different cultures with the love of God and experience what it means to live as a missionary. Many experience God speaking to them about their calling during these times.
The outreach will almost certainly challenge you. You may encounter poverty and need, new cultures and religions. It may also be the longest time that you’ve ever spent away from your home country. However, during this time you are sure to experience God working through you and make life-changing encounters, which will further your perspective.
Travelling like the apostles did… No money, no luggage, but with God. For those who want to and depending on where we are, you may have the chance to make a slightly unusual return journey. As a practical element of the “apostolic evangelism” course, you will be part of a team of four who will make their way back to Karlsruhe from point x with no money and a minimum of luggage. En route, your task is to preach the gospel. Here are a couple of starting points over the last couple of years: Istanbul, Stockholm and Budapest.

Esther (22): "Everyone should have the chance to do something like the 3-month mission outreach – such an enriching experience! I found the time particularly inspiring. It was precious to see how things are done in other parts of the world and what God is doing. We had many lasting impressions and it was great to see how God used us." |
