Come & See
Discover where God is already at work in Europe—and explore your place in God's mission.
A guided journey of prayer, encounter, formation, and discernment alongside missionaries, ministry teams, and local churches in Europe.
Spain · Portugal · Italy · Croatia
An immersive formation experience
This is notprimarily a trip.It is a wayof listening.
Listening to God. Listening to His Church. Listening to communities. Listening to your vocation.
Come & See helps churches and individuals discover God’s ongoing mission in Europe. You will worship, pray, travel, share meals, ask questions, observe, reflect, and build relationships that can continue long after you return home.
“Come with curiosity. Come with humility. Come with expectation.”

Vocation matters
Every profession can serve God’s mission.
Come & See is not about discovering one “missionary profession.” It is about discerning how your gifts, work, and vocation may participate in God’s mission—in the marketplace, home, classroom, hospital, studio, lab, or local church.
- Spiritual formation and prayerful discernment
- Intercultural learning rooted in humility
- A grounded view of church planting and innovation ministries
