See below:

• A Pacific Rim/Asia Missions Outreach in cooperation with global partners and a Bible College extension program.
• The first weeks are spent both in the classroom, and in the community. This is a time for learning, orientation, forming mission team bonds, planning, and preparing.
• Participants take Bible classes, electives, and topical courses. Included are missions practicum and missions preparation, designed to prepare participants for the upcoming outreach.
• The final weeks take us on a missional outreach in Asia. The itinerary will vary depending on the time of year and includes a circuit through countries such as the Philippines, Japan, South Korea, Macau (China), and others. The term includes 1-2 weeks in each location, depending on the team schedule and the needs in each location.
• Our host church is Calvary Chapel Lihue, Pastor Bruce Baumgartner, and Michael Ancheta, Director of CCBCK. Apartments, hotels, and host families are available during training. Calvary Chapel Bible College Kauai (CCBCK) is an extension of Calvary Chapel Bible College in Murrieta, CA.
• STRATEGIC VISION: Rick and Pam Miller are engaged in contacting churches, families, and others who desire to grow and send disciples into missions. They contact pastors and church leaders with the goal of appointing a couple in a church or area who serve as facilitators for forming missions outreach trips in global partnership with Pacific Bridge Missions and CCBCK.
