Encouragement TripsOne of the biggest miracles of the Christian faith is that the church blossoms and flourishes in the face of persecution. But one reason our brothers and sister are able to endure and stand firm is because we come alongside them and encourage them. To have the opportunity to meet someone and tell them that you are praying for them - that thousands of people around the world are praying for them - is so powerful. You will hear stories that are hard to comprehend, but God will equip you to be able to comfort people and offer hope. Encouragement trips last between 7-14 days and include the opportunity to visit local tourist sites. "It is hard to put into words what it feels like for a brother to open the door and let us in and to sit with him and hear of how God's Holy Spirit is working... I will cherish that moment for a long time." - David EthiopiaDates: 7-19 April Although Ethiopia is officially a Christian country, many Christians still suffer persecution for their faith.
