Listen to the Spring Team 2022 share how EDGE impacted their hearts and how ultimately, we all have a role to play in the Larger Story.
You can expect
While on Edge, you will not only journey through your heart, but get to be a part of advancing the Kingdom of God throughout South America or Asia. You, along with five other guys, will travel to many different countries, experience new cultures, serve and encourage long-term missionaries, carry Gods Word into closed countries, and live as a witness for Him wherever you go.
Orientation & Debriefing
Immediately after you arrive in South America / Asia, you will spend some time in orientation to gain an understanding of GTO's work. At the end of your term you will spend 3 days of debriefing to help you prepare for integration. We require that you return home directly after your time of debriefing is completed.
While the Covid vaccine is no longer a requirement, it will make your travel through Edge easier. If you do not have the vaccine, you may be required to take up to 15 Covid tests at your own expense depending on each countries entry requirements.
“Leader development isn’t about learning leadership techniques. It’s about developing as a person - mindset, character, and values. Leadership techniques and processes flow from this internal place in leaders.”

Why should I join Edge?
There are so many "things" warring for our soul in todays world. We have so much thrown at us. Even the ads on your smart phone are tailored to your last search! What is real? What is authentic? What is God calling you to?
Something inside every man desperately longs to be the man God created him to be. But there are many things trying to capture your heart. One of the big dilemmas of this is that we lose track of the things that matter most. We forget who we are, who God is, and that he has spoken to us. And. when we forget, we lose heart.
Edge is a six-month leadership program designed to help you become a leader, passionate about serving Jesus, willing to stand for truth, and courageous in caring for the hearts of others.
