As our missionaries open a church mobilization center in Tokyo, our team is invited to help train Japanese pastors in evangelism, kids/students ministry, small groups, and everything in between!

Some days this will look like prayer walking with our M's, evangelism, discipleship, visiting churches, helping in outreach, etc. You will be equipped with everything you need for a week of ministry, just make sure you bring a heart ready to serve and care! *The dates and cost of the trip are just an estimate at this time.

Second City is a two-month, intensive, international discipleship and missional program. Students spend a brief time training at the Summit and are then sent to Miami, Europe, South Asia, or Southeast Asia for eight weeks to work alongside Summit church planters and partners. Each team is made up of four to eight students and led by Summit College staff members. This is a great opportunity for any upperclassman to grow deeper in their understanding of the global mission of God and truly put their faith into practice!

City Project is a two-month, intensive discipleship and missional experience where college students serve locally, nationally, and internationally. City Project includes five weeks in Wake Forest, one week with one of our American church plants, and two weeks overseas. Students learn how to apply the gospel to every aspect of their lives and make disciples who make disciples. These eight weeks immerse students in the local church and global cities and teach them how to practically love God, love each other, and love our world. Students travel to one of our domestic church plants for one week to serve the church and the city and get a glimpse of what it looks like to plant a domestic church. The middle of the summer includes several weeks in Wake Forest, North Carolina, receiving practical theological and ministry training by pastors and teachers at the Summit. During this time, students will learn to effectively share the gospel and give their lives away in RDU in response to the gospel. During the last two weeks of the summer, students will travel abroad to serve alongside Summit church planters. This is an excellent opportunity to explore the mission of God, develop a heart for the nations, and better understand what it means to leverage your life for the gospel of Jesus Christ. City Project is open to college students only.

**This trip is for adults or families with middle school aged children and older.** Serve alongside Sparrow Missions as they serve those in Honduras who may have been forgotten by the world but not by God. This will be a great introductory trip for some families, students, and others who have never been on a short-term mission trip.

As a church, our goal is to send every member. In Summit Students, this comes through mobilizing our families on mission together through our local mission opportunities, domestic trips and international short-term trips. The culmination of this for many of our students comes through being a part of Summer Project. This 7 month discipleship program provides a venue for students to be discipled and trained with the end goal of participating in a multi-week missions experience overseas. We know that this is a tremendous investment with the most precious thing God has given you to steward, so we don’t take that lightly. We desire to partner with you as your family explores if Summer Project would be a good fit for your student.
