How We Define Mission & Missionary:
Mission
(Sentness) It is both the identity and action of the redeemed to make God’s glory known. For no other reason than the love God has for His image-bearing creation, we are sent as God’s ambassadors to proclaim the truth and good news of God’s redemptive work through Jesus Christ, available to all who believe.
Missionary
A redeemed disciple of Jesus, who embraces their identity as a “sent one from God” and lives out their God-given mission of reconciliation and restoration in whatever location or circumstance they find themselves.
What we do?
Touch the World creates opportunities for youth to encounter God and engage their faith through missions. These programs are how we accomplish our mission to equip youth to live on mission every day and everywhere.
Mission Trips
Touch the World arranges some of the best mission trips available. This is because they are approached holistically in their design to ensure that the trip becomes a catalyst towards a lifestyle of mission and not just a one-time experience. We set up the trip from A to Z in coordination with the group leader and connect you with hosts that are doing some incredible, meaningful work. You will make a difference and your life will be transformed!
Mission Training
Training is the core piece of what we do. Without training, the whole trip becomes unhinged as flawed perspectives can creep in unintentionally. We train relentlessly through our 1 or 3 day training that is tailored to prepare you with the skills necessary to serve effectively. While you bond with your team, you will learn cultural intelligence, God’s story, how your story fits into God’s story, Biblical views of poverty and so much more.
The Missions Academy
Pre-Trip and Post-Trip training are essential components for a truly transformative missions experience. The Missions Academy makes TTW’s training curriculum accessible to anyone, anywhere. Each course is broken up into short modules that can be done individually or completed prior to team meetings to be facilitated by a Team Leader utilizing corresponding Facilitation Guides.
Youth Conference
RISE is a youth conference focused on creating passion and excitement for youth to engage the kingdom of God and step into their sentness that God has called them to. Through amazing worship, speakers, community and action steps, they are challenged to live for God in everything they do.
