Missionaries are raised up, sent out, and supported by the local church.  For many, the call to long-term missions begins at a young age, perhaps even as a teenager.  Do you know such students in your church?  If so there are practical ways you a church leader can invest in their future right now!

This summer, Apex has 6 ministry opportunities available for high school students ranging in distance from right here in Minnesota to as far away as eastern Europe.  As you read through them, prayerfully ask God to bring to mind any high school students from your church that He might be calling to one of these summer trips.
