I’ll Never See the World the Same Again

  • "Participating in the Global Challenge weekend with my son was a humbling experience that turned statistics into stories and shifted our global perspective. It provided a small but powerful, hands-on glimpse into the resilience of the refugee journey and crisis, leaving us both with a deeper sense of empathy and one we will never forget."

    — Christina Huffman

  • "My daughter and I loved experiencing Global Challenge together. We took away so much from the experience – it was incredibly thought provoking and impactful. It uses a super fun format to impress upon participants the weighty importance of the great commission and its need all around the world. I cannot recommend it highly enough."
