Do the nations tug at your heart?
GCSSM is the school for you!
Georgian and Winnie Banov are famous for bringing people with them on short-term, joy-filled missionary trips all around the globe.
We believe that God is raising up a new generation of happy missionaries who know their true identity, value, and purpose. If your heart is burning with a call to carry Christ to the nations, we invite you to sign up for our optional GCSSM missions track (available in person at the Harrisburg campus or online to any of our students).
Students enrolled in GCSSM's Missions Track will participate in all regularly scheduled GCSSM classes, joy groups, and outreaches, plus, Missions Track students will also:
Attend specialized missions training sessions once each month.
Participate in break-out training sessions during the regularly scheduled class sessions.
Fulfill additional reading and homework assignments.
Participate in at least two Global Celebration Mission Trips with Georgian, Winnie, and their team as follows:
November 2020 Trip: Tijuana, Mexico
May/June 2021 Trip: Bulgaria and Rome, Italy
*You may participate in additional trips with Global Celebration during the school year, with permission.
2020 and 2021 Missions Trip will be announced at the start of the semester.
Whether you are called to short-term or long-term missions, the training that you receive will infuse you with Global Celebration's unique DNA and bliss, prepare you for service and help you understand the culture of the nations, know your role in a country, and make missions a lifestyle (not just a trip).
