Empowering Lives International to Kenya (formerly Books and More to the Middle East trip)

DONATE

June 11–21, 2026

$3,500

The application for this 2026 trip is now closed. Join us in praying for the team as they partner with a library in Jordan to share Christ’s love through creative and educational programs for youth and families. This trip offers the opportunity to come alongside a vibrant community center that provides a safe and welcoming space for learning, relationship-building, and cultural exchange. 

What will the team do?

Our short-term team will work alongside Empowering Lives International to serve an impoverished community through hosting creative arts and sports camps for youth and families. Each day provides meaningful ways to invest in the local community, encourage staff and community members, and experience how God is at work in this region through hospitality, education, and friendship.

how can we support?
This application for the 2026 trip is now closed for sign-ups, but the team needs support both in prayer and in finances. This team was formerly scheduled to go serve in the Middle East, but had to pivot due to global challenges, making travel difficult. Please pray for the team as they prepare and train together, that the Lord would equip them for this new cross-cultural ministry just as he has called them to it. Pray for them as they are on the trip, that they would remain physically, mentally, and spiritually healthy, and that the Lord would work in them and through them to minister to those they meet in Kenya.
  • If you’d like to let the team, or a specific team member, know you are praying for them as they prepare and serve on this trip, please fill out this Google form, and we will send them your prayers.
