• What is an IMPACT BEI Trip?

      Impact BEI trips provide students with opportunities to grow in their relationship with Jesus while applying the principles of business, entrepreneurship, and innovation in ways that serve others. Rooted in Ephesians 2:10, “For we are His workmanship, created in Christ Jesus for good works, which God prepared beforehand, that we should walk in them,”  these experiences challenge students to see their God-given gifts, creativity, and leadership skills as tools for advancing the Kingdom. Through service, cultural immersion, and Christ-centered social innovation, students will learn to glorify God, love others in need, and bring sustainable change to communities around the world.
