STEP

Short-Term EXPOSURE Program

Partner with us to embark on a transformative journey with Cafe 1040's new Short-Term Exposure Program (STEP). Your group will experience the richness of other cultures in a focused 1 or 2-day program, where classroom teaching effectively intertwines with hands-on encounters. Discover the Biblical foundation of cross-cultural missions and equip your group with practical tools to meaningfully engage with diverse belief systems.

WHAT OUR GRADUATES ARE SAYING

Going into the program my thought was, “Could I really do this?”. I wanted to be a missionary, but I had never gone overseas. Once I was over there, I had the opportunity to see a glimpse of what day-to-day life looks like as a missionary, and slowly the thought changed from “Could I really do this?” to “I can see myself doing this”.

I loved the vulnerability and honesty of the staff. They did not sugar coat the reality of missions and I needed to hear that. All in all, the intentionality of every class, the mentor sessions, and the hands-on experience all gave me confidence in going as a missionary someday.
