Trip Overview

Join us in Munich, Germany from May 24 – June 3, 2025, to serve and support a local IMB mission team as they organize and equip college students who have dedicated two months to serve across the globe in Europe, North Africa, and the Middle East. This trip is designed for adults of all ages to walk alongside students, training with, praying for, and encouraging them as they boldly approach the lost for the sake of the Gospel.

Activities

Throughout the course of the week, there will be countless opportunities to love, build up, and speak truth into these young adults’ lives through:

Training

Sitting under teaching from experienced international missionaries, learning alongside the students how to study Scripture, supporting others within the body of Christ, and practicing strategic tactics for sharing the Good News with those who desperately need it.

Application

After training, heading out into the city going to parks, coffee shops, college campuses, and other places to have conversations with people.  You will be engaging with the lost, praying over the city and its neighborhoods, and putting the morning’s training into practice.

Service/Support

Preparing meals and clean up afterward. During this time, there will be opportunities to sit down with a student to hear their story, what they’re excited for and anxious about, and pray for them as they prepare to serve in diverse cultures across the globe.

Free Time: While the mission work will explore the city in detail, there will be opportunities to explore nearby mountains, historical landmarks, and tourist attractions in the city and surrounding areas.

At the same time, you’ll be inspired and encouraged by the next generation as they step out in faith as God is preparing them. There will be time to encourage them, pray for them, and remind them of truth to strengthen them for the journey ahead.
