DISCLAIMER:

It's very important to know what Trek-X IS, and what it is NOT.

Trek-X is NOT...

a spiritual boot-camp for new believers or troubled teens,

a college alternative for students who want to avoid the secular culture of a college campus,

a quick path to your favorite country,

for the faint of heart, it is real world missions immersion.

Trek-X IS...

an elite 4-year missionary training journey designed to train, disciple, and launch students to the nations with the Gospel, while allowing them to complete their education at the same time.

Students must show maturity, a love for people & each other, a teachable spirit, respect for authority, and a confident calling to missions. Students who come for this reason will fit like a glove and have the most incredible time of their lives.
