This spring break, March 5 – 15, a total of 41 Geneva College students will participate in mission trips coordinated by the Office of Campus Ministries′ Quest Program. Focused on education and holistic service, these trips open students′ eyes and work to foster sustainable, long-term change.
“We hope to encourage students to think more critically about what it means to love our neighbors as we learn more about different places, cultures, and how we can serve them thoughtfully and faithfully,” says Missy Davis, assistant director of campus ministries. “We are seeking to create partnerships with organizations that promote growth in student leaders and participants, are educational, can be sustained through on-going relationships, and come alongside the service of the host organization.”
