Travel with Life Action
A gap year tour for college-age musicians, vocalists, media techs, and ministry-minded young adults—designed to grow disciples and develop skills while serving the local church.
Take a Gap Year that Changes Everything
If you’re a college-age musician, vocalist, media tech, or ministry-minded young adult, Life Action offers a one-of-a-kind journey. Join a team that travels the country serving churches, sharing the hope of Jesus, and growing in faith—all while gaining hands-on experience and lifelong friendships.
Why Travel with Life Action?
Life Action’s traveling teams are made up of passionate young adults—musicians, worship leaders, media and tech creatives, children’s ministers, speakers, and more—who want to use their gifts to serve the Church and seek revival across America.
This isn’t just a ministry opportunity. It’s a deep dive into discipleship, leadership, and life in Christ-centered community. As a team member, you’ll:
-
Grow in your walk with Jesus through daily rhythms of worship, teaching, and mentoring.
-
Build lifelong friendships in a close-knit, family-style team.
-
Develop your God-given talents through hands-on experience and professional training.
-
Serve churches around the country with purpose, passion, and excellence.
Training + Equipping for Real-World Ministry
From your very first week at Life Action in Michigan, we’ll equip you with the tools and training you need to thrive. You’ll spend six weeks in hands-on sessions tailored to your role—whether you’re mixing sound, leading worship, working with kids, or managing team logistics.
Then, you’ll hit the road—traveling from church to church, putting your skills to work while being mentored and supported every step of the way. At the end of the tour, you’ll wrap up with a powerful season of ministry at Life Action’s Family Camp.
You’ll finish the year with more confidence, stronger character, deeper faith, and clearer purpose.
Discipleship that Goes Deep
Life on the road isn’t just about the work—it’s about transformation. You’ll be part of a close-knit team of 20+ young adults and two Life Action families, living, traveling, serving, and growing together in community. You’ll share real life—meals, ministry, prayer, laughter, and even the hard moments that God uses to refine and shape us.
You won’t walk this journey alone. Through intentional team meetings, personal discipleship, and one-on-one mentoring, you’ll be encouraged and challenged to pursue a deeper relationship with Jesus. As you serve side-by-side with others who are also chasing after God, you’ll build friendships that are honest, lasting, and rooted in Christ. This is a season of growth that will strengthen your character, stretch your faith, and deepen your love for God and people in ways you never expected.

Cost + Support Raising
This journey is faith-based in every way—including finances. As a team member, you’ll raise $3,500 to cover your year on the road. This includes:
-
Training & ministry supplies
-
Lodging & meals
-
Books, resources, and travel costs
We also recommend raising a small personal fund for your own needs throughout the year.
Sound like a big leap? It is. But God has provided for every team member for over 50 years—and He’s not stopping now.
Raising support is part of the mission: it gives you a chance to share your vision, involve others, and witness God’s faithfulness in powerful ways.
