Expedition 2009

Expedition is "Journey with a purpose". The experiences you have being a part of such an amazing team will change your life forever. You will gain a new understanding of yourself, and how you work with others. You will gain a clear direction of where God is leading you next in your life. You will be exposed to new and different ministries you have never seen before.

Some of the comment from this team have been:

*It was the best decision I made to do Expedition before going to University

*I am better at dealing with conflict now than I was before

*I really enjoyed the chance to try a lot of new things

*I have more of a hunger to be more like Chirst because I have seen people display that.

*My eyes have been opened to homeless ministry and I am interested in getting involved in this.
