Thinking about a GAP Year?

After the busyness and stress of A-levels or of your college course the idea of a gap year before starting university or starting work is an appealing one. Whilst travelling or working abroad on a year out can be appealing, we would really encourage you to consider a Christian gap year. It’s amazing to be able to set aside a year for God for him to do something amazing in you and through you. There are loads of great Christian organisations around offering a wide variety of options and adventures.

We interviewed a few people who have recently done gap years about their year and what happened. Hopefully this will inspire you and may give you some ideas of what to do.

Dean’s year with the Pais Movement

The Pais Movement is an international missions organisation with a free gap year that trains young adults all over the world in youth and schools work using a unique approach to mission, discipleship and Bible study. This gap year comes with high quality training, accommodation and meals. In addition, each apprentice has a mentor, works with a team, and is placed in a supportive church environment. We caught up with Dean to chat about his gap year with Pais.
