Adventures Encounter creates custom mission trips for families or church groups in or out of the United States. Sara Tysman, a recent participant, writes about how her church group experienced God in a new way on their Encounter trip to Appalachia. Our church recently created a new team called the Discipleship Team. This team was developed to help the members of our church grow in their faith and to provide opportunities for them to be and make disciples. One of the ways the Discipleship Team does this is through giving the people of our church opportunities to serve...

Have you ever wondered if God is still in the business of healing people?   In North America, we don’t often hear much said about healing (what with our advanced medical technology and such).
