A short term mission trip can open the eyes of teenagers to a world of need. It can help them see beyond their problems. It can place them where they can see God at work in a miraculous way. It can impact the life partner and the career they will someday choose. It can anchor them in their commitment to be an active part of the Adventist message going to all the world in their generation. Most of the Academies in the NPUC have mission trips planned for Spring Break 2008. Here is a list of the plans–
