IMPACT VACATION

Join Us for a Life-Changing Missionary Trip to Puerto Plata!

Parenting in today’s world requires intentionality, consistency, and sacrifice. Liz and I have seen firsthand how powerful it is to engage our children in meaningful conversations—turning everyday experiences into teachable moments that build faith, character, and responsibility.

Now, we invite you to take that experience to a whole new level! A cross-cultural learning and serving trip isn’t just an opportunity to make a difference together as a family—it’s a chance to grow in faith, stretch beyond your comfort zone, and walk in the ways of Jesus as you become a truly missional family.

Jump into a NEXO “Impact Vacation” with your family! Together, we’ll serve vulnerable communities in Puerto Plata, create lasting memories, and take steps toward living out our faith in a transformative way.

Are you ready to make an impact?
