MX3 Blog #12 – The End of the Journey By: Melissa Thiessen During the last week of this experience our team split into 3 teams and went to different parts
SBC’s annual Mission X is a vital experiential component of what we are about at SBC. As such it has become a special signature of our desire to help students consistently integrate what they are learning at a practical, ministry level.
First year students (MX1) participate in para-church service and rescue initiatives in Winnipeg’s core area for five days.
Second year students (MX2) travel to First Nations communities of Northern Manitoba. They spend a week learning about Indigenous culture by living and serving alongside the people while building relationships.
Third year students (MX3) have the opportunity of ministering in international settings for 3 weeks in locations like Germany, Mexico, Belize, Nicaragua, Cuba, Paraguay, Bolivia, the Philippines, and England. Students are encouraged to fund-raise the support needed for this trip.
