Serve together in a variety of local and international community projects focusing on the care of “the least of these.” (Matthew 25)

International travel will expose The Fellowship participants to an awareness of divergent world views. Experiential learning through international travel opens doors for global relationships and important cross-cultural training for ministry.
Teach
As an old proverb says, “To learn, read. To know, write. To master, teach.” As a way to foster learning, The Fellowship participants will become the teacher using the storyline of the Bible as their disciple-making strategy. The best way to learn something is to teach it.
