The Trip Experience

  1. We will be going with a trekking company to learn about India and its culture where we will connect and build relationships with others as we share our stories and the very encouraging news.

  2. We will encourage and support the staff members of the trekking company as we meet people on the journey and get to know them and their culture in the remote Himalayan villages.

MEET YOUR TEAM LEADER

Tim Trezise

Our team will go with the intention to encourage and learn from the trekking company staff as we journey through the remote foothills of the Himalayas.  We will trek into some of the most unreached corners of this world spiritually. It is a time of eternal investment and purpose.  It will take physical and spiritual preparation.  Warning: This will change you and the way you see the world!  “How beautiful are the feet of those who bring good news!

Memorable Moments

  • “Sharing my faith by talking about the deaths of my mother and father and how they and I have the sure hope of the resurrection.”

    — Curtis M.

  • “One of the most memorable and meaningful moments of the trip was when we were on the top of the mountain and looked out at the massive valley filled with many villages. The sobering moment for me was when it was pointed out which Christians lived where. This was impactful because there were so few Christians who had persevered through persecution. It was a great way to show the intense need in the community.”

    — James S.

  • “One of the best moments was swimming in the glacier river after 5 days of trekking. We had just made it over the pass where we were rewarded with incredible views. The water was refreshing and rejuvenating.”

    — Ben S.

  • “This trip pushed my limits mentally, physically, and spiritually in a new place and culture. It was incredible to be surrounded by men from different walks of life who offered various perspectives. I flew to India with strangers and flew back with friends.”

    — Max B.
