Come willing to learn. Leave willing to invest everything for a greater cause.
Do you wonder what it would be like to explore the most remote Asian villages or experience South American hospitality? Would you like to be stretched in new ways? Do you ever ask yourself how it would feel to be a missionary in a foreign country; to build lasting, cross-cultural relationships? Are you interested in seeing first hand what the Father is doing among the nations?

Arrive in country for Orientation
Take a moment to listen to the Fall 2022 Charge teams as they share about their experiences and the ways God used Charge to change their views of missions, team, and themselves.
“It is in stepping out of your comfort zone, you see your comfort zone with clarity. Perspective is everything. Sometimes it takes traveling across the world to see God, yourself, and others from a different perspective.”
Why Charge?
There are times of stark clarity in your life, as well as times of confusion or boredom. Sometimes life makes sense. Other times it feels as if a story is playing out around you, but you're missing the script. What if you could step back for a short time, and gain a new perspective of God's heart, of His plan for you, and how much He loves all people? How would that new perspective change you, and the way you live?
We believe it could change everything.
How much are you willing to invest to gain a new outlook?
While on a Charge trip, you'll be given the chance to experience these things, and more! The experiences given to you will bring new discoveries which can become stepping stones in your journey with the Father. We hope these new discoveries will propel and equip you to get involved in expanding His Kingdom and making Him famous everywhere.
What to Expect
Applying for the Trip
Our online application process will walk you through all the necessary steps getting to South America. Make an account, choose your trip, and complete the rest of the application. Please contact us if you have any questions.
Team size
Most of our contacts prefer smaller teams because it's easier for them to host, and it makes it easier to connect with locals. You might feel intimidated because you're in a new country, but locals may also be intimidated by you because you're a foreigner.
Travel with friends
If there aren't enough openings on the same team for all your friends to travel together; sign up for a different trip with the same dates. You may not go to all the same places, but you can do orientation and debriefing together.
Financial breakdown
The price of Charge isn't something you pay upfront. We estimate the cost by looking at the expense of visas, airline tickets, food, lodging, etc. Anything you pay before arriving in South America or Asia will go towards your trip. You may need to bring some cash along or verify that your debit card works in your host country prior to departure. The Charge Director will email information to you before you leave for your trip.
Your leaders
Edge and Ultra team members will accompany you unless it's an all-guy or all-girl team. Because of their experience, they will help you navigate safely through South America / Asia, be responsible for connecting with contacts, and lead the team spiritually.
Growth
We expect that while you're here, you will be in situations that are not very comfortable for you. We are committed to walking with you as you learn to embrace these things and grow through them. We are all on a journey, and if we're willing, we can all grow together.
Orientation
Before going on your trip, you will spend a few days with the Charge Directors. It is a great time to get acquainted with your team and team leader and to adapt to local culture. During this time, you’ll go through missions training, team-development activities, and other trip-specific orientation.
Debriefing
At the end of your trip, you’ll spend another few days with the Charge Directors to wrap up your time in South America / Asia. You will have the opportunity to share your stories and to evaluate everything you've learned. We hope that you will return home with great excitement to serve God wherever He calls you next.
