At IMPACT, we believe that mission is a core part of our faith. That’s why we’ve partnered with mission experts, Baptist Mission Australia, to create an incredible mission exposure trip. Our goal is to help you understand the importance of mission, gain insight into intercultural mission work, and witness firsthand the impact that intentional mission can have on a community.
The Trip
Over two weeks in the June-July break, you’ll travel with your cohort and program staff to Cambodia. You’ll learn some of the local language, enjoy local food, and visit significant cultural landmarks. However, the true highlight is spending time with local intercultural workers, hearing their stories, and observing their work. Many of these workers have served long-term and share valuable insights about spreading the good news of Jesus to those who may be hearing it for the first time.
In 2025 travel dates will fall in July. Exact dates will be announced shortly, but will fall within this timeframe.
Preparation
A trip like this can feel intimidating, so we ensure you go into it confident and prepared. Before the trip, we dedicate significant time to preparing ourselves as a team and as individuals.
This includes talks from Baptist Mission Australia staff, along with activities to familiarise you with the culture, food, and language you’ll experience. We also focus on emotional preparation and self-care to help you stay resilient throughout the journey.
We’ll take care of visas and travel arrangements, but you’ll need a passport with at least six months of validity.
Debrief
Debriefing is a key component of all experiences at IMPACT, and the mission exposure trip is no exception. We provide debrief sessions both in Cambodia and upon returning to Australia. This helps solidify the lessons you’ve learned and provides an opportunity to listen for what God might be saying to you personally through these experiences.
For Parents and Supporters
We provide regular updates for those back home during the trip so that you can be praying for the group. While we’re gone, students will have regular access to WiFi at our accommodation and are encouraged to keep in touch with their families and friends at home.
