Grace’s Mission Immersion Program (MIP) is a youth development program that strives to provide local youth with an increased sense of purpose, as they support communities around the world. MIP is an intensive, six month youth program that teaches teens the importance of becoming global thinkers. Their training prepares them for much of what they will experience as they travel to serve in distant communities. Our mission is to stir a greater sense of purpose & hope in not only in the hearts of youth here in Center Wellington but also in hearts of the youth they will be supporting, globally!


 
 

In March of 2024, MIP will be traveling to Boquete, Panama to partner with the Ngäbe people, an Indigenous tribe in the western part of the country. The Ngäbe are a hard working people who have built their communities in mountains of western Panama & Costa Rica. Unfortunately, the logistics around living in the mountains of Central America has lead to an increase in poverty and, in many cases, severe malnutrition. To support the Ngäbe peoples, MIP Panama will be running a week long kids camp and assist in a food distribution program.

Thanks to the sponsors and participants of our first ever 5k Polar Run!
