Concern for the young people and future of Burundi is what drives one young man, a World Challenge scholarship student at Summit.

Major challenges are facing the church in Peru as they look for ways to serve their society’s most vulnerable.

I woke up and quickly said, “God, that’s not me. That’s my brother.”
Finding the Ultimate Architect
One World Challenge scholarship student shares how he went from a prospective architect to ministry leader.
I’m from Oregon City, outside Portland. Life was normal, going the usual route until this guy named Stan who was a Summit graduate married someone at my church. Whenever he was speaking, I noticed something different about him, so I finally approached him and said, “Hey, we should talk.”
