Global Outreach
Short-Term Service-Learning for Long-Term Mutual Transformation
Global Outreach aims to foster long-term, missional transformation by offering month-long cross-cultural service-learning opportunities. These trips, held in May and June, allow participants to partner with the Global Church, serving as equals while growing as holistic, disciple-making leaders who do justice, love mercy, and walk humbly with God. The program spans January to October, encompassing pre-trip preparation, the experience itself, and post-trip reflection. This discipleship journey encourages participants to engage deeply with questions about their identity, calling, and how to serve without harm. Interested? Follow us on Instagram @twuglobaloutreach or email globaloutreach@twu.ca to learn more. Applications are open in September and October.
