WHAT IS ELEVATE INTERNATIONAL?

Elevate International is an immersive 5 week cultural exchange. Students will study language and culture on a university campus, having the opportunity to meet local students. Students will learning about different cultural backgrounds and how to engage with people of a different country with different beliefs & customs.

Students partner with long-term workers from Resonate who are focused on reaching the 450,000 university students in their city who have never heard the Gospel.

University cities are gateways to the 456 unreached people groups in the country. College students move to the big city for their education and will return to their small hometowns. This is an opportunity for the Gospel to be spread!

Because it is overseas, this project is for our strongest leaders who have already shown significant leadership capacity in Resonate.

Elevate International: About Us

WHAT WILL MY STUDENT GAIN FROM ELEVATE INTERNATIONAL?

We live in an increasingly global society. It is likely that your students future career will be connected to people who live across the world from their office.

Spending an extended amount of time in a foreign country gives students a unique perspective on the world.

Elevate International will allow your student to:

become culturally aware
learn a new language
develop diverse relationships
understand & identify cultural barriers
contextualize the Gospel to any people group

Your student will return from Elevate International with a better understanding of cross-cultural communication that bridges relational gaps.

We have seen students return from this project with more depth, discipline and maturity. What happens in two months at Elevate International is equivalent to a year of growing and maturing due to being out of their comfort zone and immersed in a different culture.

Elevate International: About Us

Sending your student overseas can be very scary. We cannot guarantee their safety and that no harm will be done. Just like you aren’t guaranteed that when they move off to college.

However, Resonate Church takes safety very seriously, and would never intentionally do anything to put your student in danger. We do intensive training with your student over security before leaving.

Our greatest concern with security is not with the short term teams, but with the short term teams being connected to our long term workers who have given their lives to this. Even more important than the long term workers, are the local believers that our teams work with.

The worst thing that could happen with security and your student is that they would be asked to leave the country; however, if they are connected to a national believer, that believer could lose their job, family and even their lives.

As long as students and their family members communicating to them while on the field, follow our security protocol, we feel confident that this will help us to remain on the ground long term.

There is a medical clinic run by American Doctors in the city. If there was ever a concern for the students safety we would immediately get them out of the country or the situation.

For security reasons, please email Sage Foss, sage@resonate.net, for more detailed information about Elevate International.
