College students are uniquely positioned to respond to the Great Commission—energized, flexible, and seeking purpose. In this breakout session, we’ll explore how to engage, equip, and send students on short-term mission experiences that ignite a lifelong commitment to Jesus and His mission. Discover practical strategies for casting vision, preparing teams, partnering with churches and agencies, and ensuring that these trips foster spiritual growth and gospel-centered impact—both abroad and back on campus. Whether you're a pastor, campus leader, or student, this session will help you see short-term missions as more than a trip—it’s a launchpad.
