In the future, BVS hopes to expand short-term service options by offering additional opportunities for college-aged students and older adults and by increasing year-round programming.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The name \u201cFaith Outreach Expeditions\u201d will be used for all short-term service opportunities offered by Brethren Volunteer Service. This name speaks to the mission and goals of short-term service work and is more inviting to non-Church of the Brethren folk as well.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In the new name, the word \u201cfaith\u201d expresses that these experiences are a place for theological exploration, discernment, and spiritual growth. The word \u201coutreach\u201d speaks to the experience of becoming the hands and feet of Christ to the world. The word \u201cexpeditions\u201d emphasizes the sense of adventure and fun that we hope all participants experience while serving.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Staff are excited to continue the Workcamp Ministry under this new name and hope that all will consider participating in FaithX next summer!
