Young Adult Missionary Experience - Athens, Greece
There is a brief window of opportunity to impact refugees as they flee devastation and pursue the promise of stability. People can be more open to the gospel in times of transition and instability. This is one of those times! Develop your ability to share the gospel, in community and on mission.
What to expect
- Opportunities to impact refugees’ lives
- Initial stages of culture shock
- Incarnational ministry - long hours, relationally intense and rewarding
- Cross-cultural communication
- Pre-field training and debrief
- Spiritual challenge and growth
