What is a Gap Year?

A Gap Year is a 9 month adventure that will transform your life, give you opportunities to trust God in greater ways and share the Gospel with high school students across the globe. 

You will meet and develop relationships with students by going to high school campuses, sharing your testimony, playing sports, and sharing your life.  As you connect with students, you can share the Gospel and disciple those who are interested.

Your team can choose to visit an orphanage, serve at a refugee camp or meet the physical needs of others. The majority of the time will be developing relationships, sharing the Gospel and discipling those who respond.

It is important to have a willingness to learn how to share your faith and take opportunities to share the Gospel with those that God brings into your life.
