Next-Gen Development via Cross-Cultural Trips
Travel-based Mentorship & Mobilization
Life Development International coordinates travel-based mission-exposure opportunities for churches and colleges. These events are designed to inform the participants about world missions and create fertile ground for individuals to consider their own calling in regard to the Great Commands and the Great Commission.
Why Partner with LDI for a Mission Exposure Trip?
Our goal is simple: to create fertile ground for individuals to explore their calling in light of Christ’s command to make disciples of all nations. Through carefully structured pre-trip, on-trip, and post-trip development, participants gain a deeper understanding of missions, cultural engagement, and church planting.
Experience Missions with LDI: A Transformative Journey for Churches and Colleges
LDI invites your church or college to participate in a travel-based mission exposure experience designed to ignite a passion for the Great Commission and the Great Commandments. These excursions are more than trips—they are intentional discipleship journeys that inform, inspire, and equip participants to consider their role in God’s global mission.
Preparing the Next-Gen of Missionaries!
Pre-Trip: Building a Missional Foundation
Before departure, participants engage in sessions that introduce the biblical basis for missions, missionary biographies, and the realities of cross-cultural ministry. They learn about diverse cultures and the global need for gospel witness, preparing their hearts and minds for what they will encounter.
Exposure Trip: Immersive Learning and Discipleship
During the trip, participants experience international travel and immerse themselves in local cultures—learning about community needs, tasting local foods, and observing how missionaries and believers serve in their context. Daily discipleship lessons and an introduction to church planting provide practical insights into advancing the gospel in challenging environments.
Post-Trip: Processing and Applying the Experience
After returning home, participants are encouraged to engage in a debriefing process in which they reflect on what they’ve learned and how God might be calling them forward. This step is crucial for turning short-term exposure into long-term impact—whether through future local ministry, global missions, or vocational decisions.
The Impact
These trips are not tourism—they are transformational personal jourenys. Participants are challenged toward a vision of God’s heart for the nations and are presented with practical steps to live missionally wherever He leads. Churches and colleges that partner with LDI often see renewed passion for evangelism, discipleship, and global engagement among their members.
Preparing Next-Gen Leaders
These trips are great pathways for the development of future full-time workers, lay pastors, missionaries, and bi-vocational workers. Such mission exposure experiences can spark new ministry initiatives, prayer movements, and even long-term missionary service among their members. What greater joy is there for a church or college to know they are sending forth workers into the harvest?
A Catalyst for Lifelong Mission Engagement
Our focus includes mobilizing the next generation to go to the mission field, not just being supporters of missions – but active participants in the Great Commission. Through LDI, churches can provide on-site training and raise up leaders who are prepared to plant churches, disciple nations, and serve faithfully across cultures.
