We desire to provide more than just a great mission trip for participants.

We want to train them to be skilled missional leaders once they return home. Vast amounts of literature on leadership confirm that leadership can be learned. NEXT has tailored a proven leadership curriculum in partnership with Lead Well and Perspectives on the World Christian Movement to give participants practical tools that can be used immediately, and developed over a lifetime to be a great leader in any arena of life.

We have three different leadership tracks we teach in alternating years. Each track contains sessions covering three areas:

  • Soft Skills (who a leader is)
  • Hard Skills (what a leader does)
  • Perspectives on missions and church planting.

We begin a new track each June. Currently we are teaching our Red Track. In June 2016 we will switch to our Yellow Track, and in June 2018 we will begin our blue track. Below is a list of the topics we cover in each track.
