Aperçu du voyage
This Christian Interrailing Mission Adventure combines the thrill of travel with the opportunity to spread love, compassion, and the message of Jesus Christ across diverse cultures.
Race Across Europe offers a unique opportunity to combine the excitement of interrailing with the spiritual growth of a missionary journey. Over the course of 4 weeks, participants will travel through various European countries, engaging in a range of activities aimed at serving local communities, sharing the gospel, and fostering meaningful connections with people from different cultures and backgrounds. Race Across Europe serves as a platform for personal growth, deepening one's relationship with God, and discovering one's purpose in sharing the gospel and serving others. It's about embracing adventure, stepping out of comfort zones, and living out the gospel values of love, kindness, generosity, and humility in a global context. We want to see young people grow in their relationship with God and step out to have an impact in Europe.
Cost includes interrail pass, accommodation, transport & main meals. Excludes insurance, vaccinations and DBS if required.
This outreach consists of 4 elements of training and equipping throughout the journey:
Pre-travel training
On the journey Training
Check Point Training at various stages of the journey with an OM leader
Debriefing at the end of the journey
Prior to departure, participants will receive training and orientation at the OM UK London base. The sessions will equip them for the mission ahead including cultural sensitivity training, evangelism workshops, and logistical briefings. The team will end back at the OM UK London base for debriefing.
Please note that an OM staff member will travel with you for the first week of the journey to provide supervision, guidance and facilitate a smooth transition of the group leadership to the participants.
Married couples are welcome to apply if they are ok to sleep in separate rooms sometimes. OM reserves the right to adjust the program costs as exchange rates fluctuate. Your OM representative will be able to confirm program costs upon inquiry.
