This year, we’ve focused on stories inspired by our We Are the World Race Campaign. This month, we’re sharing stories inspired by women on the mission field. (Don’t worry guys, your turn is coming next month!) This month we want to celebrate all things women-in-missions related, and give you a chance to share your story as well.  Shannon Morgan, leader of the Fall Passport trip to Kenya writes of her experience in an African Hospital. A place full of hardship, she tells us how we never walk alone, no matter what the situation looks like. Help is always sitting within arms...

Before Laura Kurtz‘s trip to Nicaragua, she didn’t know what to do with her life. After 56 days of living in community with her Passport team, she returned home with a vision. When I signed up to go to Nicaragua, I was running. Running from reality, from growing up, from the future. My college graduation loomed large only a few weeks away, and I was spending entirely too much time wearing suits, shaking hands, and talking about where I saw myself. The trouble was, I didn’t see myself anywhere. While I’m not too proud of my splendid display of cowardice in what basically...

The New Year just began and you’ve probably made and broken a few resolutions. But we think resolutions can be made every day, not just on January 1st. If you’ve resolved to do something awesome this year, or if you want to resolve to do something awesome, we’ve got just the ticket. If you’re a college student wondering what to do with your summer, wonder no longer. We’ve got trips from Nepal to Swaziland, China to Guatemala, Thailand to Kenya, and many more. So, why consider it? 1. You’ll see true thankfulness firsthand and learn to appreciate even the most...

Heads up! One of our programs is changing its name quicker than a newlywed—and for good reason. Passport Immersion is now World Race: Gap Year. We’re incredibly excited for this transition, and while a lot of things are going to stay the same—anyone age 18-22 can still dive into three countries in nine months— one thing is changing. Starting now, World Race: Gap Year falls under the World Race umbrella. Like the first World Race, Gap Year participants travel to multiple continents for the better part of the year. But Gap Year participants have the chance to do something...

Adventure. Community. Life Change. That's what Danielle Alig of our Swaziland Passport team experienced this summer. She signed up for Swaziland with a desire to love on orphans–underdogs. Much to her surprise, she not only encountered them but realized through one little boy that she too was an underdog in desperate need of a Savior. Here is her story. My heart fights for the underdog and against the big bad bully. My heart aches for the ones who are picked on or are generally ignored. Swaziland has hungry children everywhere you look. Throughout the country, we found programs...

Excitement stirs in 50 Passporters this week as they pack their final belongings, say their final goodbyes, and depart on their 9-month mission adventure.   Training Camp has come and gone. Relationships have been formed that will last a lifetime. Brothers and sisters will gather this week to face the nations. These Passporters blow our minds. They’re leaving behind the comfortable American life that the world screams is important… and are diving into some of the darkest places on the planet. The nations will be changed with just the simple decision to GO. Not only the nations…...
