The Cause

Why The Cause?

The Cause invites young adults into God’s mission through real, cross-cultural experiences. Rooted in the Church of the Nazarene’s Global Missions legacy, The Cause connects you to meaningful opportunities—short-term trips, internships, and developmental experiences—across all six regions. Whether you’re exploring a call to missions or taking your next faithful step, The Cause helps you gain clarity, preparation, and hands-on experience as you serve where God is already at work. Where is God calling you to be the hands and feet of Jesus?

Impact Stories

"TAKE THE TRIP! DO IT! If you feel the Lord nudging you, press into that calling. You never know what He might reveal to you, or how He could transform your faith, your perspective, and even your life."

Samuel

"Thank you so much for this opportunity! God worked greatly in my life and also used me to make Jesus known"
