What does a Pioneers short-term mission trip look like?

“When I was 24, I went on an adventure around the world… and so can you,” says Elyse. “Every year, thousands of college students go on short-term mission trips. Some go to build a school, some go to just travel the world, but for me, I wanted to experience what real daily missionary life was like.” Follow Elyse on her journey to Ghana and the unexpected lessons she and her team learned about serving God among the unreached. Check out our Edge destinations.
