About the Program
The Banja Luka Global Program 2026 will spend approximately 5 weeks in Banja Luka, Bosnia and Herzegovina where students will work alongside the local IFES chapter, EUS, to build relationships with Banja Lukan students and connect them to the long-term staff in the city. These connections will be built through meals together in the on-campus cafeterias, cultural exchanges with students, conversational English classes, and many hours spent at local coffee shops. We will also host a series of weekly events at the local church where Banja Lukan students can come to meet new friends, deepen their relationships, and build trust with the church.

About the Program
Building on a 45-year history, Kenya GP students will experience what God is up to in this beautifully diverse & complex part of His world. Comprised of students & staff from across the USA & Kenya, the team will be equipped for cross-cultural ministry through speakers, simulations, hands-on experiences, worship, Bible Study, & prayer. For ministry assignments, groups of 2-3 students will have the rare opportunity to live in the homes of Kenyan pastors & serve under their leadership. Assignments include working with churches, schools, & children’s homes: preaching, giving testimonies, teaching, sharing the gospel, prayer ministry, & visiting church members. After 2+ weeks of ministry, the team will gather in Nairobi for a week sharing stories from assignments & engaging in university ministry. The final week in Kenya will focus on debriefing & re-entry training; discussing lessons learned, praying through applications for lives & on campus, & preparing to re-enter American culture.

About the Program
This planned trip for 2026 is a continuation of the partnership between Intervarsity in Indiana and Illinois, and ChSA. We are hoping that a small group of staff and students (8 – 10 total) will fly into Poland during Spring Break, 2026 to help the Polish movement with campus outreach in the city of Bialystok. The plan is to assist with Proxe stations (and possibly a coffeehouse) during the day, aiming to engage Polish students (most of whom speak some English) in conversation about the Gospel. We will also invite the students to evening meetings where, among other things, the Gospel will be presented.

About the Program
Travel with us to Rwanda to partner with GBU Rwanda, an IFES student ministry. Together with local staff and student leaders, we’ll learn from their experiences, share resources, and deepen friendships across cultures. You’ll explore Rwanda’s history of genocide and reconciliation while seeing how God is at work on campus today. This program will stretch you through cross-cultural immersion, challenge your vision of poverty and justice, and invite you into transformational discipleship. As you serve and lead alongside our Rwandan brothers and sisters, you’ll grow in self-awareness, strengthen your leadership skills, and return with a deeper vision for God’s mission on your campus and beyond.
