Is the Lord sending you on mission? Pray earnestly and seek His voice!
Our ACTS Teams are all lined up for 2025 and we couldn’t be more excited about the service opportunities that are available for this upcoming season. ACTS Teams (Advancing Christ Through Service) are powerful service trips that enable you to get far outside of your comfort zone and be the hands and feet of Jesus to our brothers and sisters around the globe. In 2025, our teams will be traveling to Mexico, The Dominican Republic, and the USA Southwest/Navajo.
"Opened my eyes to a culture that I never had been exposed to. And made me face some of the prejudices I have that were based on what I see here in my small world in York and Lancaster." - Anonymous
Each of these locations are truly excellent opportunities to grow deeper in your faith through service. Our Lord calls us to be humble servants, not just because Jesus modeled it, but because through service we learn how to love others well, and we learn how deeply we are loved by our Father. It is through the service of others that we can address our doubts, work on our pride, and strengthen our commitment to the Lord.
"I was expecting to serve the Lord. In serving I was also taught. Learning more about the Navajo Nation was humbling." - Crystal

ACTS Teams are all about service, which means while you contribute to a service project, you’ll be immersed in the culture and taken care of by hospitable locals who love Jesus and are excited to see you. Of course, you’ll be able to experience some local sights, sounds, and a little bit of tourism too.
"I was deeply blessed by the opportunity to connect with the Navajo community. Long, meaningful conversations that I had with some of the parents and members of the community gave me lessons that I will carry with me forever. The warmth and kindness of everyone, is something everyone on the team will never forget. The children as well, their joy, when one would just run up and jump on my back, give me a hug, or sit on my lap, those moments touched my heart so much, I will forever love each of them. Sharing as well in their church service was unforgettable and so beautiful, particularly hearing the songs sung in Navajo allowed me to witness a profound expression of faith and culture. Seeing everyone praising God in diverse ways gave me so much appreciation for them but also it reveals in that moment how great a God we serve." - Cassandra
