Join GoTEN for a relationship-centered trip serving refugee families alongside a trusted local partner in the Middle East. Our partner has established a community center that provides compassionate, long-term support through a clinic, school, and local church. Rather than creating a separate program, our team will come alongside the work already taking place—following the leadership of people who understand the community, culture, and needs. During the trip, team members may: - Visit refugee families in their homes - Assist with educational activities and support local teachers - Serve alongside qualified medical professionals in the clinic - Spend time listening to, encouraging, and building relationships with families - Support the local staff, ministry leaders, and long-term workers who serve daily - Provide Christian encouragement, connection, and community to those carrying the work forward We are especially looking for teachers, nurses, doctors, and other qualified professionals who can contribute within their areas of experience. We also need relational servants—people who are willing to listen, learn, encourage, play with children, share meals, and serve wherever needed. This trip is a good fit for people who are: - Flexible, humble, and culturally sensitive - Comfortable entering homes and building relationships across cultures - Willing to follow the direction of local leaders - Ready to serve without needing to be at the center - Able to listen well and offer genuine encouragement - Prepared for changing schedules and unfamiliar environments Our goal is not simply to meet immediate needs. It is to strengthen relationships, support sustainable local ministry, and encourage the people who faithfully serve refugee families throughout the year.

Through language programs, kids' activities, sports, crafts, community events, and everyday conversations, you’ll have opportunities to meet people from across the region and build genuine friendships.

You’ll experience a new culture, serve alongside local partners, and discover how simple acts of friendship and hospitality can open doors for deeper relationships. The team will also spend time exploring the city, experiencing local food and culture, praying together, and learning more about God’s heart for people from nations where access to the Gospel is limited.

Go somewhere few people go. Build friendships with people few Christians ever meet. Help open doors for relationships that can last long after you come home.The Island Impact Team is an opportunity to serve among one of the world’s least-reached populations. You’ll travel alongside experienced GoTEN leaders and spend your days meeting people, experiencing the culture, and creating natural opportunities for friendship.This won’t look like a typical mission trip. Because we are serving in a sensitive part of the world, our team will travel as tourists and spend time where people naturally gather. You might join an excursion, play soccer or other sports, visit a park, share a meal, do crafts with kids, explore a neighborhood, or simply sit down for a conversation.The goal is simple: meet people and build relationships.A conversation you begin could become a friendship that a long-term worker continues. A family you meet could become connected to someone who lives there. Your willingness to listen, learn, laugh, play, and spend time with people can help create opportunities for the Gospel that continue long after your trip is over.You’ll also spend time with long-term workers serving in a place where following Jesus can feel lonely and isolated. Sometimes your impact is simply showing up—sharing a meal, praying together, listening to their stories, encouraging them, and reminding them that they are part of something bigger.What You’ll DoConnect — Meet local students, young adults, families, and kids through everyday activities.Explore — Experience the islands through excursions, food, recreation, neighborhoods, and local culture.Build Relationships — Start friendships that long-term workers can continue after you leave.Encourage — Spend time with workers who live and serve in challenging and isolated environments.Learn — Discover what it looks like to live, work, and share your faith cross-culturally in a place where very few people know Jesus.Pray — See the people and places firsthand and learn how to pray specifically for an unreached nation.Is This Trip for You?You don’t need to be an experienced missionary or have all the right words. We’re looking for college students who are willing to show up, be flexible, meet new people, and step outside their comfort zone.This trip is especially suited for students who are adventurous, relational, curious about other cultures, willing to try unfamiliar things, and comfortable serving without always seeing immediate results. You should be prepared for warm weather, lots of walking, changing plans, and a moderate level of physical activity.Most importantly, come ready to learn. You may go hoping to make an impact on an unreached people—and discover that God uses the experience to make an impact on you as well.Because we’ll be serving in a sensitive location, specific details about the country and our work will be shared with qualified applicants during the application process.
