Christar is committed to preparing you for the best possible experience overseas. If your trip is longer than one month, part of your preparation will be participating in our five-day “blaze” equipping conference. Click here for more details.


Asia Minor

Two to four weeks

Take a two-week to one-month intercessory, seed-sowing, vision-casting tour of Asia Minor. Visit ancient cities of biblical significance, meet nationals, rub shoulders with long-term workers and taste what living in Asia Minor is like. Catch a vision of what God is doing in this land and develop a greater ability and passion to pray for Muslim people and the ministry here. Begin to think about how you could be part of seeing this country come to Christ.

Construction and Landscaping Team
June 1-15, 2010

Join a work team of skilled laborers to help complete the construction of six homes for the Cleft of the Rock, a missionary retreat center in Asia Minor. All construction is concrete and block. A team is also needed to work on landscaping and building trails around the site.

Join our missionary teams in Rotterdam/Den Haag. Accompany our missionaries in existing outreach and discipleship, learn some of the Dutch language, distribute literature in areas where Hindustanis are concentrated and make contacts that can be followed up by our workers.

Northwest Africa

Two to six weeks

Experience Northwest Africa! Join us in a 1,200-year-old city and interact with Muslims. Study Arabic, either Modern Standard Arabic or the local dialect, as you gain cross-cultural experience in an Islamic culture. You could explore imperial cities, mountain villages and the Sahara Desert, and live with a national family.

Trekking
Two weeks or more

Adventure awaits your team as you go trekking in Northwest Africa. Stay with Berbers in their mountain villages and experience the Imazighen culture and language. Treks are organized by an experienced trekking company that has operated in Fez for a number of years. A team of at least eight individuals is required for this adventure.



Philippines

Four weeks to two years

The Lanao Development Team is open to short- and long-term teams, individuals or interns who want to serve on a church-planting team that is involved in a variety of ministries.

This team’s ministries are diverse and open to those wishing to use almost any talent or skill. Gain experience in all levels of the church-planting process and further develop the skills you bring to the team.

Costs do not include passport fees, immunizations (due to individual country requirements), prayer letters or “blaze.” These costs may be reimbursed if funds are raised beyond what is necessary for your short-term trip.
