Discovery Tours
What is a Discovery Tour?
Two weeks of exploring communities in another part of the world, spending time with missionaries and community members, and challenging yourself to see the world through different eyes.
Each tour includes:
- Orientation and debriefing
- Time spent with a missionary who will guide you on the journey
- Visits to CRWRC partner ministries
- Time spent with a local Christian family
- A time of service, giving back to one of the communities you will visit
- A financial donation to support the ministry of our partners
- Opportunities to be surrounded by God’s creation
- Worship services with our brothers and sisters
- Opportunities to wrestle together about complex issues, like justice and poverty
- A challenge to take what you have learned and incorporate it into your life back at home
