As president and co-founder of Joshua Expeditions, I am honored that Alpha Omega Publications has given me the opportunity to present our ministry in this issue of the School Messenger. Amir Mahadi and I co-founded Joshua Expeditions (JE) nine years ago with the sole purpose of providing students with the opportunity to impact the world with the gospel. I believe students need to be inspired to fulfill the Lord's calling for their lives through experiential learning and exposure to missions and outreach. If students can learn to use their gifts, abilities, and educational backgrounds to share the gospel, then they can begin to walk out their divine purpose. Our goal at JE is to provide your students with the opportunity to discover their purpose in Christ as we integrate sightseeing with strategic ministry components. Your students will not only see the world, but will have the opportunity to change it!

Joshua Expeditions specializes in a wide array of domestic and international short-term mission trips and educational travel. The world is in your hands whether it is a trip to our nation's capital city of Washington DC, a senior class trip to London, a mission trip to Costa Rica, or one of our international leadership trips.

We are constantly looking for new ways to enhance our programs. This year our European Coordinator developed a new program call the "Nehemiah Project" which is designed to potentially impact every student in your school from elementary to high school. This project will allow your school to learn how to plant, cultivate, and harvest. For details about this unique opportunity, check out www.joshuaexpeditions.org.
