Overview:
South Korea, also known as the Republic of Korea, is a modern nation with a rich history. Once a united country on the Korean Peninsula, South Korea now is the southern part of a split Korea. North Korea, its neighbor, grabs many headlines here in the U.S. for its political views and relationship with the nations in the region. Regardless of what the media portrays, South Korea still very much desires to unite (when the time is right) with the North. Although it has an established Christian Church, Christianity accounts for only 30% of the overall population, making the sharing of the Gospel an important need. South Korea is a wonderful place to serve alongside brothers and sisters in Christ from another continent while reaching even more people with the Gospel.
Ministry Description:
While in South Korea, your group will be sharing Christ while teaching basic English to children. Using curriculum developed by Base Missions and Awana Korea, you will run 3-5 day English camps. During these camps your group will have time for instruction, games, songs with motions, and a chance to share about who Jesus is and how He has made a difference in your life.
Overview:
Portugal is a nation on the western edge of the Iberian Peninsula with one of Europe's oldest and most storied histories. Founded as an independent kingdom in the 12th century, Portugal became a global maritime power during the Age of Discovery, when explorers like Vasco da Gama charted sea routes to Africa, Asia, and the Americas, spreading Roman Catholicism throughout its vast colonial empire, a legacy still deeply woven into the nation's identity today. Portugal remains nominally one of the most Catholic countries in Europe, shaped strongly by the Marian apparitions at Fátima in 1917, yet this cultural Catholicism often exists alongside low church attendance and rising secularism, especially among younger generations, while evangelical Christians make up only a small percentage of the population. Portugal is a beautiful and welcoming country to serve in, offering the opportunity to partner with a small but growing evangelical church while helping open hearts to the transforming truth of the Gospel. The Evangelical Church is one of the youngest in Europe, as it is only about 70 years old. But through it, the gospel has taken hold and begun to impact the next generation who are hungry and looking for hope.
Ministry Description:
A Christian camp needs your help to reach young people who may not hear about Jesus otherwise. Summer camp is a powerful way to invite more children and youth to follow Jesus. Situated on the coast near Porto, this camp is a perfect spot for kids to hear the gospel through your testimony and Bible sharing. Teams participate in service projects and spiritual conversations to see lives transformed in each of the two camps that they help run.
