Life on the ships is fast-paced and can be intense. Come with a servant heart, an attitude to learn, and willingness to be flexible and this could be the experience of a lifetime. Many who have been on STEP bear witness to the huge impact it has made on their lives, and to how God has worked in and through them.
the STEP (Short Term Exposure Programme) is a unique opportunity for young people to serve God on board the ship.
Beware! Short term missions might severely impact and change the course of your life for the glory of the Lord. If that's what you’re after, please proceed.
Also note that prices may be subject to change due to fluctuating exchange rates and that the advertised cost does not include your traveling costs.
Living and working alongside people from different nations gives you firsthand experience of what it takes to be a cross-cultural Christian worker. It is both challenging and enriching. The days will be filled with practical work in one of the ship's departments (40hrs per week/ 8hrs per day). Outreach Teams are one day per week; you will participate in an assigned ministry experience. It might be an onboard programme or an onshore event.
