Mission and Leadership Team, Global

Destination Overview

What?

The Mission and Leadership Team offers you an opportunity to learn about life on mission as you serve with our missionary partners and build intentional disciplemaking relationships with high school students encouraging them in missional living and training them in Gospel fluency. The MLT will have a hands-on opportunity to use their gifts and skills to contribute to the ministry they serve and to gain personal experience and confidence in vocational ministry. This is a 4-7 week long mission interacting with youth groups over the summer as well as time in training, equipping, and serving direct with our missionary partners. The length of your service we be site specific with 4 week, 5 week, and 7 week total serving options.

Why?

We have asked former staff members how they were impacted by their summer with Apex. They mentioned the mentorship received by the Apex staff, the opportunity to work alongside the ministries they were assigned, and the joy they had working with the youth they encountered throughout the summer. They valued the relationships that were developed, and the conversations that were held which were motivated by the Gospel. Additionally, relationships are a key catalyst that God often uses to call students back to a city and a team.

Trip Overview

Who?

How?

The Mission and Leadership Team will get to know and build relationships with our missionary and ministry partners. This will give you the opportunity to ask bold questions to get to know their heart, calling, and mission passions. You will also get to serve along side our missionary/ministry partners to learn and experience their gospel mission and play a role in advancing it forward. As youth groups come you will play a mentoring role in their lives as they look to you for examples of growing faithfulness and mission lifestyle. You will be equipped to model, mentor and train students in the Apex tools for disciplemaking growth and missional living training. You will also help your site focus on authenticity and excellence in mission work.
