Missions Made Possible: StudentLife Mission Trip Scholarships

When Pastor Chris Pinkston and Pastor Aaron Seelbaugh proposed a bold discipleship challenge for middle and high school students, the God-Sized Vision Fund leadership team didn't hesitate; their unanimous yes came with a $53,398 investment. The plan was simple but demanding: if students completed every requirement of an intensive discipleship program designed to deepen their walk with God, the fund would cover their mission trip expenses. The results were remarkable. Sixteen middle schoolers and 23 high schoolers rose to the challenge, committing to spiritual growth and service. For many, this program opened a door that financial barriers would have otherwise closed. Lives were transformed, not only by the discipleship journey, but by the mission experiences that followed. This initiative stands as a testament to what can happen when faith, vision, and resources come together to invest in the next generation.
