Urdu - South Asia
Date: July 19th–August 23rd 2026 • Cost: $5,700
South Asia is a heady fusion of colors, languages, and flavors. Home to megacities and filled with unreached people groups, it has become a strategic center for missions. Generally closed to the Gospel message, the Urdu-speaking Muslims in this region have been historically overlooked or forgotten by those unwilling to learn their language.
But you can be a light to those in need. By immersing yourself in the language and culture, you’ll gain an inside look at what God is doing in one of the most densely populated places on the planet and discover what He’s calling you to.
