Have you ever served on a mission trip and wondered what’s next? Perhaps it was a Christian Camp or you’ve studied abroad. Oftentimes your faith is stretched and your life is transformed as you experience God in fresh new ways, yet the challenge begins when you try to sustain and strengthen this momentum and commitment to Christ beyond this short-term experience.
