Last week, the GAC community stepped into Winter Break, a time filled with rest, travel, meaningful moments at home, and opportunities to serve. Throughout the week, parents, faculty, and students participated in GAC Missions, traveling to communities across the country and around the world to share their time and talents.

This year, GAC facilitated 10 mission trips for Middle School and High School students, spanning locations across the United States and internationally. Winter Break has long been a vibrant and impactful week for missions at GAC, and this year was no exception.

Mission teams served in the following locations:

• Rural Mississippi & Choctaw Nation
• Ecuador
• Greece
• Guatemala
• Honduras
• Utah
• Dominican Republic
• Dominican Republic (GAC Varsity Baseball)
• Vieques, Puerto Rico (Family Mission Trip)
• Peru (Father & Son Mission Trip)

Many of these trips brought GAC teams back to locations where students and leaders have served in years past. Returning to these communities allows teams to continue meaningful work and deepen the impact of their time there. This year also marked a special milestone: GAC’s first-ever Father & Son Mission Trip to Peru.

Throughout the week, the GAC community followed along through photos and updates, faithfully praying for each team, the work being done, and the people being served. Winter Break may have brought a pause from the classroom, but it was a powerful week of living out GAC’s mission beyond campus and across the globe.
