Every summer, VYN students leave the comfort of home and show up — hammer in hand, heart open — to serve communities near and far. From disaster relief in Mississippi to kids ministry in Guatemala, our trips are built on a simple conviction: that faith isn't just something you believe, it's something you do. Students pour concrete, run VBS, gut flood-damaged homes, and somewhere in the middle of all of it, they find that serving others changes them just as much as it changes the places they go. That's been the heartbeat of VYN mission trips since 1994 — and we're just getting started!
