CLICK HERE TO DOWNLOAD ITINERARY AND COST DETAILS
Anyone (ages 16 on up) is invited to this incredible opportunity to minister to people in Germany, explore their culture and grow in their own faith.  Germany (and most of Europe) has strayed far from God. There is great need for people to hear and see what Jesus can do in their lives!  Included will be children's camp/VBS (KinderCamp), sports camps for kids, leading worship services, leading events for kids/teens of missionaries, and ministering at an International Youth Camp/Retreat (for teens and McAvoys).  There are options on length of stay, which will also range in cost.  You may sign up as an individual, family or church group. GM will assist with fundraising ideas, provide resources to prepare you spirutually and emotionally, and guide you through the process of mission work overseas.  If you are interested or would like more information -
please email Nate or Robin at GM or call 602-391-6215.


There will be so many other ministry resources and opportunities available - check back soon and often!
