Christian Gap Year Programs in United States

This was an experience that became so much more than I expected. What began as an opportunity to take a gap year, serve others, and experience a different part of the world turned into a year of growth, unexpected friendships, new perspectives, and lessons I will carry with me. Some of my favorite memories are from the everyday moments in between the serving and learning: laughing with teammates, getting to know the people around me, navigating unfamiliar situations, and learning to find joy in the unexpected. Looking back, I am grateful for all of it: the places I went, the people I met, the family I entered, the things that I learned, even the parts that were uncomfortable and stretched me. It was a year I will always be grateful I said yes to!

This program taught me more than I can say and gave me an essential foundation for anything else I do in my life. First I learned about myself and then I learned about culture, missions, and serving. I will never be able to live the same again and that is beautiful. I've discovered a love for learning about other cultures and experiencing things outside my comfort zone. I have a better relationship with myself as well as an understanding of importance of relationships with other people. One of my favorite experiences in the program was when we went to Uganda for a month. I got to hear so many stories and experience things I never thought I would.

I would highly suggest this to anyone who is looking for a Good gap year program. This program is centered more around you and the growth in God that you can have and not just focusing send people out on missions trips. Not only do they prepare you for how you should be doing missions they also teach you the WHY missions Is Important.
