Go and learn
Faith Expeditions
More than ever, the world is our neighborhood. Our lives are connected to people around the globe by the products we consume, the environment we share, and the wars and economic systems that link us together. We travel all over the globe to learn about new places and people. Yet, the typical tourist itinerary fails to provide a glimpse into everyday life in a particular location. Faith expeditions allow participants to learn about the real lives of people struggling with issues of peace and justice through an immersion experience.
Trips are usually 10 days to three weeks in length, and the fees are limited to the actual travel costs. Faith expeditions take participants to places where peace, justice, and/or environmental concerns are particularly relevant, and where the Church of the Brethren is involved in partnership ministries.
Participants should be willing to live in basic conditions, to respect other cultures, and to open themselves to spiritual growth. The trips are not restricted by age, as the intergenerational nature of the experience is one of the values of a faith expedition.
