WHY GO ON THIS TRIP?

The Crossing firmly believes in providing opportunities for individuals to learn more about what God is doing around the world. We are committed to offering trips and service projects for you to see firsthand what ministry looks like in Peru and how you can actively contribute to serving others globally and locally. Our hope is that you will be compelled to change something within your lifestyle at home after this experience and make a greater impact in Las Vegas.

WHAT WILL WE BE DOING?

The team from The Crossing will spend time in Huanchaco be a part of devotionals, teaching lessons, spending time around a bonfire and building relationships there with Iliana and the young adults in the community. Hope For Youth recently renovated an old Hostel to use it for classes, lessons, studies, and other activities. The team will spend time working with the teens in this facility. The mornings will be spend with kids at a detention center and the evenings with kids at the youth center. We would also spend a few days as a team up in the mountains with a small community doing outreach, learning, and relationship building. This trip is highly relational, immersive, and provides a fantastic opportunity to engage cross-culturally.
