Top 5 Reasons to Go on a Global(x) Journey This Summer

Every summer, people from our church step away from their normal routines to serve alongside global(x) partners, locally and around the world. These journeys aren’t about checking a box or having all the answers. They’re about showing up, serving well, and seeing God at work in meaningful ways. If you’ve ever wondered whether a global(x) journey might be right for you, here are five reasons this summer could be the perfect time to go:

1. It’s a chance to live your faith, not just talk about it.

A global(x) journey invites you to step into your faith in a tangible way. You’ll serve alongside trusted partners, meet real needs, and offer your time and presence where it truly matters. It’s not about fixing everything, it’s about being faithful, available, and willing to serve.

2. There’s a journey that fits you and your season of life.

Whether you’re considering traveling as a family, joining a men’s team, or stepping out on your own for the first time, there’s a journey designed with you in mind. Some teams serve close to home, others cross borders, but every journey is rooted in meaningful service and strong partnerships.

3. You don’t need special skills, just a willing heart.

You don’t have to be an expert or have prior experience to go. Each team receives training and support, and you’ll serve alongside leaders and teammates who are there to help every step of the way. What matters most is your willingness to show up and serve.

4. You’ll experience genuine community.

There’s something powerful about serving side by side. Shared work, shared meals, and shared moments create connections that last well beyond the journey itself. Many participants say the relationships they build are one of the most meaningful parts of the experience.

5. Now is the time to take the next step.

Summer will be here before you know it, and teams are already forming. If God has been stirring something in you—curiosity, restlessness, or a desire to serve—this could be your invitation to respond.

Ready to take the next step?

If serving this summer has been on your heart, even just as a quiet nudge, this could be your moment to say yes. Global(x) journeys are built around showing up, serving well, and trusting God with the rest. Teams are forming now, and we’d love for you to join us!
