Break For Change is a student-led short-term missions program that cultivates long-term relationships with ministry partners across America and around the world to give students, staff and faculty annual opportunities to serve alongside local missionaries in inner city neighborhoods, community centers, and churches. Break For Change teams form each fall semester, then meet regularly during the next six months for preparation and team building before being sent to the field during Spring Break. Not only do teams exchange their holiday for a week of intensive service, they devote an entire academic year to learning about, praying for, and loving those they intend to serve. Inevitably, on the other side of this experience, Break For Change participants find that they are the ones who are changed. Read what some of our participants have to say

BFC works to cultivate long-term relationships with ministry partners by returning regularly, giving students and faculty an opportunity to visit again and grow along with them.  See photos »
