Parents: What's NEXT for your student?

Did you know that over half of high-school students who were raised in church will never return to active involvement in a local church after they graduate?

It’s true. And as concerning as that may be, the reality is that most students today lack a deep sense of mission and purpose for their lives.

As God’s people, we can’t just stand by and watch this ‘Graduation Evacuation’. But what can we do?

Founded in 2005, NEXT Worldwide was started to give high school and college students a chance to have hands-on experience in helping plant a new church while receiving high-level leadership training to equip them for a lifestyle of living on mission when they get home.

When your son or daughter goes on a NEXT Worldwide trip, they’ll experience…

A Life-Changing Opportunity: They’ll have a unique chance to both learn and experience what it means to be a part of God's global purpose.
Strategic Outreach: They’ll receive thorough pre-trip preparation on how to share the gospel. On the field, they’ll step outside their comfort zone, share Jesus, and begin the discipleship process in the community where they are helping a church become established.
Impactful Disciple-Making: They’ll gain a fresh new perspective on what it means to make disciples of all nations both through church planting missions and student leadership training designed to help them Live the Mission at home.
Life-long Transformation: Our approach will teach them that missions is not just something they do on a break. The trip is a catalyst for changing their outlook on life and equipping them to live missionally every day.

Yes, there is something we can do to give our kids a chance to not become a statistic. We can give them a mission and equip them to live it out for the rest of their lives!

So take the first step today toward equipping your student to Live the Mission God has for their lives!
