Are you willing to face the uncertainty of stepping into another culture and to learn from the lives of Christians there? Are you willing to be inspired, challenged and changed and to grow in your faith? In order to connect more deeply with our brothers and sisters in the multi-cultural Body of Christ we need to step into another’s shoes and step out of our own, to risk being vulnerable, and to see things from another’s perspective.
By joining a CMS ENCOUNTER you will have an opportunity to connect with Christians who are seeking to make a difference in often challenging situations around the world. We seek to nurture pilgrims, not tourists, through team experiences which enable people to get behind the headlines of another country’s news and find out more about what is going on at a grass roots level. Each ENCOUNTER allows participants to be immersed within a different culture for a brief but intensive period with the opportunity to reflect upon and learn from the experience.
Be more than a tourist with a mission experience of two to four weeks. Join a group and make new friends or let CMS create a tailor-made experience for your group.
Youth groups (16+)
A first taste of a different culture in the safety of a group and a chance to grow personally and spiritually. CMS will work with youth leaders to design a programme that meets your needs.
18 – 30s
For people who relish a challenge and want a genuine encounter with another culture. Join in the local church’s mission and learn from the Christians you meet.
25 +
No age limit 25– 80-year-olds welcome, as long as you’re fit. A two-week programme with plenty of time to reflect on your encounter with another culture and expression of faith.
Don’t let these categories limit you – we can tailor experiences to almost any group, often helping you to strengthen an existing link in another country. Cost per person is usually between £900 and £1,500.
