What participants are saying:

“I would absolutely endorse the Helipad training. The zoom format is absolutely wonderful and much easier than getting families from all over the world to converge in Louisville. It was a huge blessing to us and we feel much better prepared because of it.” - Justin and Amanda L, serving with Great Commission Europe

“I highly recommend the Helipad Training to absolutely anyone who feels God leading their hearts towards His global mission for the gospel. This training really opened our eyes to all the facets of long term mission assignment and how to pursue God's calling well in our preparation as well as being in a new country and culture for the glory and work of Jesus Christ.” - Josh Brown, The Journey Church
