Luke 10 Exploration Trip

Overview

Luke 10 Exploration Trips take place when teams who include the four types of participants travel together to a location in which Friends are exploring the possibility of launching a new mission field. These teams get their cues from Luke 10 and use EFM’s CAN GO Criteria to evaluate the experiences they are having on the trip. This same criteria is used when they return home and report to the Luke 10 Think Tanks, determining whether this potential site is a “thumbs up” or “thumbs down” in regard to further exploration or launching a new mission field in the visited location.
 

Eligibility Requirements for Luke 10 Exploration Trips:

1. A committed Christian who is submitted to the Lordship of Jesus Christ made evident by their personal devotion and service to others and confirmed by the local church.
