Known as one of the poorest countries in Central Asia, this area has experienced the effects of extreme poverty, civil war and natural disasters in recent years. Despite devastation, this area has begun to be transformed as aid and the love of Christ come together to impact those living under these difficult conditions. 

This trip is wonderful for pioneers in the faith who want to be the hands and feet of Christ where few others have the opportunity to go.

This trip is designed for those who are in good physical condition and are spiritually mature.

Physically, you must be able to hike 2-3 miles with a backpack if necessary, sleep in tents with outdoor facilities, and endure higher altitudes.  Spiritually, you must be walking consistently with the Lord and be able to submit to the team leaders instructions on behavior and attitude.

Participants must be at least 16 years old; minors under 18 years of age must be accompanied by a parent or guardian.

We will visit a Central Asian country that is primarily non-Christian.  Location and details will be reviewed with those who submit their pre-application and references and are approved to participate in the trip.
