Join the 2024 EXITE team as we serve in Paraguay!

July 18-28 (tentative)
SIGN UP NOW!

This trip will be a great opportunity to take part in the ministry in Paraguay and to develop your own relationship with the Lord. In Paraguay, we will be serving alongside Grace Ministries International team members Cory and Kim Hodgson, Cleiton and Viviane Menor, and Tati Faria. We look forward to serving in their church plant affiliated with GMI and their new outreaches. We will be working mostly in children’s ministry, teaching ministry and evangelism. We will of course be open to any other opportunities we have to serve the GMI team and people in Paraguay.

As you prepare yourself to serve, expect that you will grow in your own faith. We will not only be teaching the Word of God, but we will be living out His Word as well. You will have an opportunity to create wonderful new relationships with your teammates and the people of Paraguay while being challenged as we have our own personal prayer and devotional times.

At the EXITE boot camp held on the campus of Grace Christian University, you will learn about yourself and how to work together as a team with other high school students and college students. You will also prepare for your ministry in Paraguay, including outreach events for youth and children, giving your testimony in a cross-cultural setting, and sharing the gospel in various venues.

Join the EXITE team today!
