Organizations Filed Purposes:
VENTURE CREATES AND ORGANIZES ADVENTUROUS AND SACRIFICIAL EXPERIENCES TO RAISE FUNDS AND AWARENESS FOR MISSION'S INITIATIVES AROUND THE WORLD, WHILE PROVIDING AN INTENTIONAL DISCIPLESHIP PROGRAM FOR PARTICIPANTS. IN ADDITION TO OUR U.S. PROGRAMS, VENTURE SPECIFICALLY SERVES VULNERABLE POPULATIONS IN SOUTH EAST ASIA, THROUGH OUR FOUNDATIONS, REFUGEE FEEDING PROGRAMS, ANTI-TRAFFICKING INITIATIVES, EDUCATION AND DISCIPLESHIP PROGRAMS, AND OTHER SUSTAINABLE COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT PRACTICES. ALL PROGRAMS ARE FACILITATED THROUGH THE LOCAL CHURCH, AS AN EXPRESSION AND RESPONSE TO THE GOSPEL.
WE SPEND OUR GREATEST ENERGY ON THE WORLD'S GREATEST NEEDS AS AN ACTIVE RESPONSE TO THE GOSPEL.
VENTURE PLAYS A DIRECT ROLE IN PROMOTING BIBLICAL JUSTICE THROUGH ORGANIZING TRIPS AND SENDING SHORT-TERM MISSION TEAMS INTO STRATEGIC LOCATIONS. THE ORGANIZATION ACCOMPLISHES ITS MISSION BY RAISING AWARENESS AND FUNDS THROUGH ENDURANCE CHALLENGES AND PHYSICAL SACRIFICE. PHYSICAL CHALLENGES, INCLUDING BIKING ACROSS CONTINENTS, RUNNING ACROSS STATES, EATING RICE AND BEANS FOR A WEEK, OR CLIMBING FIVE MOUNTAINS IN FIVE DAYS HAVE RAISED FINANCIAL SUPPORT AND REORIENTED THE LIVES OF PARTICIPANTS AROUND CHRIST'S MISSION TO SERVE THE POOR AND VULNERABLE. ONCE ON THE GROUND, THE VENTURE TEAMS SERVE IN A VARIETY OF WAYS. THE TEAMS TEACH SEMINARS, HOLD PASTOR CONFERENCES, DISTRIBUTE BIBLES, RUN YOUTH CAMPS, LEAD SERVICE PROJECTS, PERFORM RELIEF WORK IN REFUGEE CAMPS, ASSIST WITH ORPHANAGES, TEACH ENGLISH AS A SECOND LANGUAGE CLASSES, AND DISTRIBUTE GOSPEL MATERIALS. THE TEAMS ALSO WORK TO RAISE AWARENESS OF ISSUES LIKE THE NEED FOR CLEAN WATER, AND THE HORROR OF HUMAN TRAFFICKING.
