Each school year culminates in a mission trip to Brazil in April with Dr. Randy Clark. Students have the opportunity to serve as Dr. Clark’s ministry team in healing services at Brazilian churches. This life-changing experience will give you the ability to see miracles, signs, and wonders take place as you lay hands on the sick, release words of knowledge for healing, and share the gospel on the streets. The blind see, the deaf hear, and the lame walk by the healing power of Jesus Christ! Those who travel with us to Brazil are forever changed by their personal encounters with the Holy Spirit and by the miracles they see take place through their own hands.
(The Brazil trip cost is not included in tuition.)
GSSM curriculum includes attendance at Global Awakening events, including Voice of the Apostles in October, Voice of the Prophets in April, and other in-house events at Global Awakening headquarters. Registration for these conferences is included in tuition. Online students have the option attend conferences either online or in-person.
