OUR WHY
Thousands of students spend a week of their summer serving on a mission trips. What if the end of your trip was just the beginning? At Next Step, we pray your one-week mission trip produces long-term spiritual growth in the lives of your students. In an effort to help students stay connected to God for the remaining fifty-one weeks of the year we have created a variety of discipleship resources. Whether it’s through our mobile app or via the web, your students will have access to daily devotionals, prayer resources and original film content.
WHAT TO EXPECT ON THE MISSION TRIP
DAILY DEVOTIONALS
Our Devo Stories App features short videos illustrations that show the many different ways God is working in our daily lives. These daily devotionals are a great starting place for your student’s personal time with God. From a comical lesson on the consequences of stealing, to a serious talk about a parent’s divorce, these devotionals help students understand God in new and real ways.
PRAYER RESOURCES
Available as a free mobile app, the Prayer Wall provides an open and anonymous space for anyone to post prayers requests and to be prayed for throughout the year. These praises and concerns are prayed for by our staff weekly through the year. This app also features alarm clock type push notifications that can remind you to take your time of prayer for the prayer wall users each day.
ORIGINAL FILM CONTENT
Follow the faith journeys of inspiring Christians such as Bob Goff, Francis Chan, Propaganda and Katie Davis in a number of original film series. As your students explore what it took these influential people to find the truth of Jesus Christ in their lives, they will be challenged to live out this truth in their own lives.
MISSIONAL MINDSET
As students extend service alongside our community partners, our hope for students is to return home challenged and inspired to take the next step in living out their faith. During every Next Step trip, youth groups are challenged to return home with a missional mindset along in completing an action plan we call the “Mission Manifesto.”
