Transform 2012 - Mediterranean Mission Trips
Transform 2012 is a movement.
Hundreds of young people training and serving together in some of the least-reached parts of the world for a summer. 450 million people live in the 21 modern countries around the Mediterranean Sea.
Christianity’s roots lie in this region, yet many people here do not know the story of Jesus Christ or who He is.
Imagine hundreds of people from all over the world coming together by the Mediterranean Sea for a week of worship, training, and teaching. Imagine these same people going out together in teams to reach the Mediterranean nations with the Gospel!
Conference – July 16-21, 2012
Come together with hundreds of young people from around the world. The week-long conference will take place in a southern European city by the sea. Training, worship, prayer, networking, and teaching will prepare you for a few weeks or months of ministry.
Outreach – 2 weeks, 6 weeks, 1 year
Following the conference, teams will be sent out to the countries surrounding the Mediterranean. Ministry activities will include sports, arts, immigrants outreach, literature distribution, prayer and long-term ministry support.
