 This Is Not a Vacation

While we will have some amazing cultural experiences, this is not a vacation—this is a service mission.

Each day will be full—physically, emotionally, and spiritually. We'll be up early, gathering for scripture study and devotionals, then spending long days in the field working, serving, and lifting others. Whether we’re building, teaching, mentoring, or loving children who need us, we will be fully engaged from morning to night.

This experience will stretch you. It will change you. And it will bless you more than you can imagine.

Each participant should come ready to serve, work hard, and give their whole heart to the people we meet and the causes we support.

 Trip Cost & Fundraising

The full cost of this experience—including airfare from Phoenix, lodging, transportation, meals, and all activities—is approximately $5,000 per person.

Through our foundation, 95% of the cost has already been covered.

We are asking each participant to contribute just $200, as a tax-deductible donation through our nonprofit partner.
If you are in a position to give more, we invite you to do so—any extra funds you donate will directly support:

  • The clean water well we will help build in Tanzania (and its ongoing maintenance)

  • A clean water well for Mully Children’s Family in Kenya

We don’t want anyone to miss out due to cost. If your heart is willing, we’ll help you find a way.

We especially encourage youth to work, save, or fundraise for their portion. Your sacrifice will make the experience more meaningful and personal.

  • Youth and Young Adults ages 14 and older are welcome to attend without a parent.

  • Youth ages 8 - 13 are welcome to come, but must be accompanied by a parent or guardian.
