You’ve heard it said that the harvest is plentiful but the workers are few.

We’re standing up to say the workers don’t have to be so few.

Kingdom.

Honor.

Excellence.

What we mean by

kingdom. honor. excellence.

Kingdom. This is God’s story. It’s all about Him. It’s not about us. Our eyes are on Him. Our hearts belong to Him. Our feet stay in step with Him. We will partner with a kingdom network of ministries and churches across the world to ensure we are part of a redemptive strategy that doesn’t put ourselves at the center. We are part of the Kingdom, and we are servants of the King.

Honor. Because this is not about us, we will engage in cross-cultural ministry with humility, with cultural awareness, with accountability. We will choose others above ourselves, both on our teams and with our partners. We will choose encouragement and the building up of our partners over the elevation of ourselves. We will be people of integrity, wisdom, and honor, all to the glory of God.

Excellence. We know that honoring people and bringing the kingdom requires hard work. It requires grit. It requires excellence. So we commit to doing our jobs well from the dreaming to the details, from the training to the preparation, from the logistics to the follow-up. By committing to excellence in all we do, we honor the King.

Kingdom. Honor. Excellence. 1. 2. 3.

Put each of these together and what do you see? Three dots.

An ellipsis.

We are just part of the story God has been writing around the world for a long time. He and His people have been at work in these places long before SEU Missions arrived, and He’ll continue long after we leave.

This has never been about us. It has always been about Him. But it doesn’t end there. He invites us to be a part of His story.

You’ve heard it said that the harvest is plentiful but the workers are few. We’re standing up to say the workers don’t have to be so few.

You have our yes, Jesus. We will go, and we will do it for the King, with honor, and with excellence.

MISSIONS SCHOLARSHIP FUND

We've got 500 students who have said yes to joining God's story around the world this year. They'll partner with over 40 ministries, missionaries, and local church leaders to serve where needed and to proclaim the gospel through word and deed. Their "yes" is wild!

We know not everyone is able to get on a plane, but we would LOVE you to be a part of our SEU Missions family by helping us send our students. By donating to our Missions Scholarship Fund, you're entrusting SEU Missions staff leadership to determine which student we can help send. We will find a student who has modeled integrity, hard work, and Christlikeness in their missions endeavors so far. Thank you for helping us send a generation!

You may have heard about Short Creek in the Netflix documentary "Keep Sweet: Pray and Obey" about how the area used to be the headquarters of the cult of the FLDS. But Jesus gets the last word. The cult leader's former homes have been transformed into Short Creek Dream Center, a recovery house for those escaping cults and trafficking, as well as learning to live in sobriety, restoration, and hope.

Short Creek, UT

Appalachian Trail

Working with Trail Servants we will be serving the Appalachian Trail through-hikers. Many of these hikers are searching for a deeper meaning to life and we hope to meet these people with the answer that is in the love and truth of Jesus Christ! We will be hiking alongside these people and serving them by providing food, supplies, and a place to find rest.

We will be traveling across the Midwest/ East Coast area serving in a variety of ways. This trip will be about a month long.

Are you ready to do something wild + hard for the gospel?

If you have a passion to see the unreached hear about Jesus in remote places, this is the trip for you. In fact, you'll be backpacking the Himalayas and camping each day with trekking guides. Due to hiking at 13,000-14,000 feet each day, this trip will require physical training with your team for the months prior to the trip.

Nepal

Cambodia

Cambodia is a nation in Southeast Asia that endured years of violence and genocide. Recently, Cambodia suffered economically due to halted tourism in the pandemic. But God is in the business of restoration. You'll live in a local village and engage in relational evangelism. Overland Missions expeditions bring the Gospel and build relationships with some of the most remote people on earth.

Typically recognized as a vacation destination, Fiji is an incredibly strategic island in Pacific Oceania. Besides being a major transportation hub, Fiji has a vibrant church and yet deep need. Half the islanders do not have access to clean water. We'll join in clean water initiatives in local villages, do children's ministry, as well as media ministry (photography and videography.)

Partner: AGWM

Fiji

Papua New Guinea

Papua New Guinea is home to hundreds of different tribes, many of which are completely unreached by the Gospel. Partnering with Ethnos360 we will serve and love people from these tribes and minister to the youth. The ministry will involve English teaching, manual labor, and evangelism. We are so excited to go to this Island that always needs more helping hands!

We will be working with LiveDead in a country in the Silk Road region, one of the most unreached regions in the world. Our team will be working at an English Learning Center alongside their full time workers, and will share the gospel. The launch team provides support for those that convert to Christianity as they face pressure from families to return to Islam.

Silk Road

Middle East

The Middle East is near to our hearts, and we believe the heart of Jesus. Imagine doing ministry in the same places He walked! This trip will serve in multiple nations and will involve a large variety of ministries. You'll also get to serve with those on different sides of religious and ethnic conflict. Come ready to serve, but also to learn, to walk where Jesus walked and love the people He loves.

A Greek island 4 miles off the coast of Turkey, Lesvos flooded international news in 2015 during the height of the Syrian refugee crisis as boats flooded their shores. There are still thousands of asylum seekers in the camps on the island. We'll partner with EuroRelief to work in the camp, doing manual labor as well as building relationships so that the gospel may be received with enthusiasm and hope.

Lesvos, Greece

Tunisia

Our partner for Tunisia sends English teachers all over the world in some of the hardest places to send missionaries. Their unique relationship with Tunisia allows them to work both in classrooms and summer camps with youth, giving them opportunities to practice English. If you're not sure you can teach, don't worry - they provide all the training! We believe that this will be a doorway to the gospel!

In partnership with several organizations such as the Iceland Project and others, this trip will bring ministry to the people of Iceland in the form of street evangelism, aiding in church planting, surveying the faith of people, and community outreach. As we explore God's beautiful creation in the land of snow and northern lights, we want to bring an attitude of servitude to pray for God's plan for Iceland.

Iceland

Great Britain

In partnership with YWAM, we will be serving the homeless, ministering to children, and sharing the Gospel throughout Great Britain; specifically England and Scotland. The mission is to serve the people in these places with love and humility, and to be catalysts for hope and restoration throughout this region! This year the people of Great Britain are enduring a lot of changes, and we want to show up with hope.

The Roma people have long been oppressed across Europe, and we want to bring hope and life alongside Hope4Romania. Through summer camps, women's ministry, and soccer camp, we'll work to show the joy of Jesus in these villages. Then we'll venture to Albania, one of the nations in the Balkans, to engage with the local community and show the love of Jesus.

Romania + Albania

The Irelands

Did you know that there are actually two Irelands (The Republic of Ireland and Northern Ireland)? We will be traveling to both nations, working in a part of the world that has often faced intense religious division. In partnering with local churches and outreach ministries, our hope is to meet physical needs and build connections in a way that displays Jesus’ heart for reconciliation!

The war in Ukraine has been deeply on our hearts. The people of Ukraine have been dispersed all over Europe and the world. While we are not able to go to the country of Ukraine at this time, we are able to serve in places like Austria, Hungary, and one or two other nations with ministries dedicated to providing care, help, relationship, and restoration. Join us as we meet people where they are at and love the people of Ukraine!

If you made it this far, we know your heart is likely in the posture of service already, so let's talk about the fun stuff too!

On each trip, there will be time made for team debrief, rest, and fun. You'll have plenty of opportunity to count the cost and live sacrificially, so we also want to make sure you're taken care of and are enjoying the places we serve!

Perhaps you may spend a day in Athens, visiting the ancient sites and explore where the Apostle Paul walked. Or perhaps you'll ride a camel through the desert in the Middle East and enjoy a bedouin meal in a tent. You might find yourself on safari in Africa or visiting an elephant sanctuary in Southeast Asia, or even hiking in Zion National Park or exploring Times Square.

We're committed to working with our ministry partners to ensure that our off days are appropriate, both culturally and financially, and that we honor our hosts and donors well. With all that said, let's have some fun too!
