PRAXIS

What happens on PRAXIS?

A typical weekly schedule will include three main components:

Being with God

You’ll build healthy spiritual routines to enrich your faith and be intentionally attentive to God. You’ll experience spiritual practices like stillness, play, and daily Examen.

These spiritual rhythms are integrated with missional activities, so you can learn to both show and talk about the good news of Jesus.

Growing in unforgettable community

You’ll be part of fostering an environment of trust and community. In that community, you will grow in your personal development, care, character, and contextualization of the gospel, for yourself and for others.

You’ll also grow as a leader, as you take opportunities to guide your teammates in worship, prayer, meals, missional activities, Bible studies, and team building.

Living missionally

Partner with local organizations serving vulnerable populations in your host city, bringing the good news of the gospel and helping hands to those in need.

Living missionally happens in every part of our lives. These opportunities will broaden your understanding of God’s redemptive work. They will allow you to wrestle with the fullness of God’s mission, the holistic and embodied nature of living as a witness, and the contextualization that’s needed in evangelism.

In past trips, this has looked like:

• Helping newcomers to Canada

• Witnessing to neighbours

• Caring for creation

• Engaging in Indigenous–settler reconciliation

• Serving at-risk youth

Note: Trip cost includes housing, food, and mission trip activities. Participants will have the option to raise additional funds to cover their travel to Ottawa.
