Slovakia - Lucenec

Youth Team to Lucenec

Location: Lucenec, Slovakia

Dates: June 6-15, 2026

   Cost: $1,000 USD + airfare

Team Size: 13 people

   Application Due Date: Team is full!

During this one-week outreach in central Slovakia, our team will step into schools, community spaces, and local churches to build bridges of trust and open doors for lasting relationships. We will visit approximately 12 schools, engaging students through conversational English, inviting activities, and personal stories that naturally create space for deeper conversations about faith and hope.
Through two outreach events designed specifically for middle and high school students, we will help create welcoming environments where young people can encounter authentic Christian community.
Beyond the schools, we will come alongside the local church to encourage believers, strengthen partnerships, and invest in long-term ministry presence in the region. In previous years, teams have supported Roma ministry in nearby villages, connected with students with special needs, built friendships through sports like floorball, and hosted relational events for teachers.
This week is about more than programs—it is about presence, partnership, and planting seeds that God can continue to grow long after the team returns home.
