Welcome back to our GUSME Team! Thanks for all your support and prayers! Our next GUSME trip is scheduled for the Summer of 2027!

Reaching and serving the FM area. This is a great opportunity to get out of your comfort zone physically and spiritually! The team will stay in the dorms at NDSU, do service and mission projects in the area, serve at Summer Blast at Salem, and bond and grow through numerous shared experiences. This experience is available for all students currently in 7-12th grade
Next LME is scheduled for Summer 2026!

We heartily encourage our youth toward participation in missions, that they might grow a deeper love for God and His people. The Missions Board has established the following 4-level hierarchy for student involvement:

Every student starts their missions experience by presenting the Gospel message to a staff member as practice sharing their faith with others.

Intended for youth in grades 7-8, this level involves serving with the SalemKids ministry through Summer Blast for a week in the summer. Youth work in the mornings and assist at various work service projects in the afternoon.

Additionally, students stay overnight at NDSU during the week, an experience meant to confirm their ability to stay away from home and be a vital part of a ministry team.

Level 2 requirements can also be fulfilled through approved opportunities at camps or other ministries.

Upon completion of Level 2, youth in grades 8-12 are invited to serve with an inner-city ministry in a large U.S. city. Previous trips have taken place to Denver, San Diego, and Nashville.

Youth in grades 11-12 who have completed levels 1-3 are encouraged to participate in an international missions trip with a church-wide ministry team or a para-church organization.
