Radical Snapshots
Radical Journey participants deepen their relationships with God and each other while serving in Colombia and Northern Ireland.

- Orientation: The first month of orientation in an urban setting is designed to set the background and expectations for the ongoing conversations, study, reflection, service and practice of spiritual disciplines that will continue throughout the year.
- Cross-cultural experience: The next 10 months are spent in an international or domestic service location. In most locations participants will live with host families and participate in a variety of service opportunities connected to the local faith community.
- Integration: Upon returning, participants will be asked to spend one month integrating their experience and learnings back into their home church communities.
It is our prayer that participants will continue to influence and form communities of faith and service and participate in the work of calling others to a lifestyle of following Jesus Christ.
