We aim to empower Latino and Latina college students nationwide to fulfill the Great Commission by spreading the love of Jesus Christ and serving communities in need. This summer, we are inviting a team of 10 Latino students to participate in a three-week Global Project in Dearborn, Michigan. Latino culture deeply connects withMiddle Eastern and Muslim communities, offering a uniqueopportunity to build bridges for the Gospel. Dearborn, home toone of the largest Arab-American and Muslim populations in theU.S.—with roots in Lebanon, Yemen, Iraq, and Syria—provides a rich context for this mission. During the trip, we will partnerwith local Christian ministries to serve Muslim communities through activities such as a Kids Camp, a cultural and languageexchange at a community center, outreach in local parks, and daily prayer and worship as we intercede for the city. Together, we will reflect Christ's love and grow as ambassadors of His Kingdom across cultures.
