From Central America to Europe and the Middle East, 174 Liberty University students will be traveling around the world during their spring break next week on eight international trips offered by LU Send, a division of the Office of Spiritual Development.
The 10-day trips range from humanitarian opportunities and cultural engagement to academic enrichment.
On Thursday morning, students checked in at a parking lot on East Campus for a send-off event, where they were greeted with Chick-Fil-A breakfast. Staff members made sure all the passports and travel documents were in order before students loaded onto five buses where leaders prayed with their groups before heading to the airports.
“We were so excited to watch 174 Champions for Christ being sent out into the world,” LU Send Trip Coordinator Weston Martin said. “We are so excited to see our students embrace their academics in a way that stretches far beyond the borders of the U.S. and engages with foreign cultures and peoples. We know that the light of Christ is heading forth into the world this spring break.”
Students will return the weekend before classes resume on Monday, March 20.
