Our vision is to inspire all Harding students, regardless of major or vocation, to fulfill the will of God to take the Gospel to every nation.
We take students interested in mission work and empower them to test the waters of sharing Christ in a different culture through various summer mission trip and internship opportunities. Our programs provide logistical support, hands-on training and preparation, connections with other students, faculty and staff around campus and possibilities of forming relationships with God's people around the world. We facilitate and equip students to go into the world with hopes that through these experiences, the eyes of students' hearts will be opened to know what God has put them on this earth to do, and that they will no longer be content unless they are sharing Christ in some way.
Global Outreach mission trips are usually led by Harding faculty or staff, two to six weeks long in the summer and have varying fundraising goals. These trips are servant-oriented, with specific tasks and goals to encourage our brothers and sisters around the world and to reach those who are not yet believers. We work alongside local churches and missionaries at host sites to serve holistically to further God’s kingdom.

Global Outreach internships have teams composed of only students (two to six depending on the site), are six to eight weeks long in the summer and have a set fundraising goal. These experiences are designed for students who are interested in or at least open to learning about the realities of cross-cultural mission work. In addition to having some specific tasks to accomplish, interns are able to shadow missionaries and local leaders on the field in order to better understand their day-to-day lives.

Our goal is that the challenges, victories and friendships made will open our students' eyes to see beyond their own culture and lifestyle, and will teach them about a world that is waiting in anticipation to find out the Good News of Jesus Christ and his salvation.
