Ghana | June 8–18, 2023 (TRIP FULL)
Cost: $2,900 (approximate)
About the trip: Join us in one of Africa’s most stable countries. Our ministry location, the greater Navrongo area, is one of the most impoverished regions of Ghana. Our missionary objective in Ghana is to establish and maintain relationships that assist the development of the gospel ministry throughout the region. Ministry can include sharing the gospel, teaching Bible stories at local schools, leading church services, leading seminars, and training pastors at the Bible college.
Zambia | June–July 2023
Cost: $5,250 (approximate)
About the trip: The need in Zambia, Africa, is real and immediate. 54.5% live below the poverty line, with 94,985 orphans and vulnerable children. Our partners at Family Legacy are working to impact these children. Visit familylegacy.com to learn about going to Zambia and volunteering with Camp Life this summer. Ministry includes a week-long camp that serves children so they can experience God’s grace and transformation.
Peru | July 5–13, 2023
Cost: $2,400 (approximate)
About the trip: God is moving in this beautiful country! Peru includes the largest river and jungle in the world, the Amazon. Ministry needs are abundant in the town of Iquitos, where we partner with a local church and missionaries. The church has a heart to reach all ages and has recently started a discipleship school. Ministry can include leading life skill workshops, sharing testimonies, building projects, and encouraging believers.
Costa Rica | July 9–18, 2023 (TRIP FULL)
Cost: $1,500 (approximate)
About the trip: Costa Rica attracts tourists with their beautiful beaches, numerous volcanos, and wildlife-packed rainforests. Although it’s reported to be one of the happiest countries in the world, it still has people who do not know Jesus. We partner with evangelical churches to help them reach their communities. Ministry can include camp ministry with local church youth groups, evangelism training, building projects, and building relationships to encourage the church while they work in a tourist-driven economy.
Thailand | July 20–30, 2023 (TRIP FULL)
Cost: $2,400 (approximate)
About the trip: Less than one percent of the people in this nation are Christian. There have been many seeds of the gospel spread throughout, and God is working in the people of Thailand. Our ministry is in Chang Mai, with missionaries seeking to reach children in youth homes. Ministry can include serving at sports camps, providing care for missionaries, seminars, and building relationships with youth in the homes.
Guatemala | July 30–August 6, 2023
Cost: $1,550 (approximate)
About the trip: Guatemala has beautiful scenery, a welcoming culture and plenty of opportunities to show God’s love to others. We work in the village of Pacux, outside of Rabinal, sharing Jesus with children and families as we provide for their physical needs. Ministry can include home improvements, kids club, feeding programs, and partnering with local ministries to build up believers.

During this amazing event in November and December, c|Lifers purchase an overwhelming number of toys and gift cards so that people who are facing tough financial circumstances are able to give Christmas gifts to their families. Each family picks out presents, has volunteers wrap them, and then take them home to enjoy the blessing of watching their kids open them on Christmas morning.
Sharing Success is an investment in middle and high school students through school dress, supplies, and testing fees (SAT, ACT, etc.). We host a yearly event to help students start their school year off strong by providing new school clothing as well as ongoing assistance throughout the school year by equipping them with needed school supplies and payment for testing fees. We want students to look good, feel good, and do well because we believe in each student’s potential to succeed.
