How LU Send Supports Global Travelers

LU Send is committed to preparing Liberty students for meaningful and safe global experiences. Our student support programming is designed to guide travelers through every stage of their journey, from initial interest to reentry, ensuring they are academically prepared, spiritually grounded, and equipped to thrive abroad.

Advising 301: Academic & Cultural Preparation

We’ve spent a lot of time talking about logistics, deadlines and applications. This advising session is made to prepare and support Liberty students for the experience abroad. You can expect topics that discuss faith & spirituality abroad, first time travelers, leveraging your abroad experience and many others.

Safety & Self-Defense Training

To promote student safety, LU Send offers hands-on self-defense workshops tailored to the unique challenges of traveling abroad. These sessions empower students with situational awareness and practical skills to stay safe while exploring the world.

Pre-Departure Orientation

Once LU Send has approved a student’s application, the final requirement is attending the mandatory Pre-Departure Training. This session will cover safety and security, cultural intelligence, spiritual vitality and faith, and much more in the context of studying abroad. Students will receive an email from LU Send to confirm their attendance at Pre-Departure Training mid-semester.

Welcome Back Reentry Support

Returning from a global experience can be just as transformative as going. LU Send hosts reentry programming to help students reflect, reconnect, and reintegrate their experiences into life at Liberty. These gatherings foster community and celebrate the growth students have experienced abroad.


Student Testimonials

Hear from others before you!

“When I came on this trip, I wasn’t sure what I wanted to do with my degree. After finishing this trip, I now know what I want to do and where I want to be. I thought it was a really eye opening experience and confirmation of my desire to do medical missions.”

Hannah Rodriguez

Rwanda – Nursing 

 

“God was so evident on this trip and the way He worked through every individual on our team. I learned so much from older people who joined our trip and watched them exercise their spiritual disciplines. It opened up my perspective of how I can come back and foster growth in my personal relationship with Jesus.”

McKenzie Brockelbank

Honduras – School of Divinity 

“I was exposed to different cultures in a way I had never been before and it was really cool for me to see how God is working even across the country! It also opened my eyes to see that there is so much more in the world than just the Lynchburg bubble, and it gave me the realization of the importance of global ministries!”
