Nehemiah is an invitation-only trip designed for Royal Servants alumni who wish to go deeper in their spiritual walk, as well as develop and expand their leadership and ministry skills. This year, Nehemiah will be working in China and the Philippines.

God calls you to demonstrate leadership by using your God-given gifts to influence others and walk in who God has created you to be. Nehemiah is designed to develop your unique spiritual strengths through training, teaching, and hands-on leading. Join us this summer and see how incredibly God will use you!

Outreach

You will take the next step in honing your ministry skills when it comes to outreach. Paired with others on your team, you will take a larger role in ministry overseas. 

  • Teach skill groups at Training Camp.
  • Craft, organize, and facilitate multiple VBS programs for children and teens.
  • Coordinate village outreach events, including street performances and door-to-door evangelism.

Of course, you will also spend a significant amount of time developing relationships with the people you’re ministering to. Encourage them and begin to make an impact in their lives for the Kingdom.

Adventure

Personal development

Nurturing your spiritual growth is always a priority on Royal Servants. On this team, your discipleship and mentoring will be provided by your trip leaders. You’ll have more in-depth discussions, exploring 18-21 books of the Bible throughout your trip. 

You will be presented with situations that will challenge you in all areas. The team is designed to strengthen your skills in problem-solving, decision-making, and communication through training, teaching, and hands-on leadership opportunities. One of the big takeaways from last summer’s students was learning that leadership is about responsibility, humility, perseverance, and serving.

Team Dynamics

Growth

Nehemiah is different from other Royal Servants teams. It is intentionally smaller, limited to 12 students. You will be placed in a Leadership Group (LG) with 2 to 3 other students and you will be given various tasks to work on together. 

Working and leading together provide a context for accelerated growth…which means you’ll get to know others on your team faster and deeper than you would believe possible! You really come to rely on and trust each other in ways that are life-changing.

What are students saying about royal servants?

I was pushed out of my regular comfort zone, challenged in my faith, and had a whole lot of fun while doing it. From the people I met to the family I got to call my team to learning more about and growing my relationship with my homie (Jesus), I cannot express how thankful I am that God gave me this incredible opportunity.

I was shaped by the love and care that members on my Royal Servants teams showed me. The love and care that these people showered on me helped me to better understand God's love for me, and this has had a profound impact on my life.

China, Nehemiah
I would recommend others to go because Royal Servants offers you an incredible, life-changing experience. From the intentionality of Training Camp, to witnessing the impact of ministry right in front of you—this mission trip will have you thinking about it for months.

the royal servants experience

Every Royal Servants Trip is different, but some things that never change.

Intentional Discipleship

From Training Camp to debriefing, every aspect of our ministry is focused on discipling our students. Through small group discussions, large group teachings, and an extensive debriefing process, we want to ensure your student is not only emotionally prepared for a summer overseas but also that they are prepared to apply what they learn in the summer to their life at home.

It is important for our teams to start with a solid foundation before they embark overseas. At Training Camp, you will begin building relationships with your team, learn how to share the Gospel, and prepare for what life will look like overseas. You will leave Training Camp ready to face any challenge that may come your way.

Over the course of the summer, you will experience how transforming life in Christian community can be. Through daily quiet times and small group discussions, you will deepen your relationship with God. Through outreach, you will gain new understanding of God's heart for the world and the Church. Through being in community, you will learn how to love those around you.

After weeks packed full of ministry outreaches, you will transition into a week of debriefing. Going home after an intense summer ministry experience can be challenging emotionally and spiritually. Debriefing is a time of reflection about what you have experienced, seeking wisdom from God, and preparing for the challenges you might face going home.

Biblical Teaching

Throughout the summer, you will hear teachings on foundational Christian truths. Our biblical worldview is best described as historic Christianity, and we teach from a traditional perspective on morality and values that the church has held for over 2000 years. Refer to our Statement of Faith and make sure we are the right fit. On everything else, we encourage students to seek answers from their parents and local church community.

Safety

Royal Servants takes the safety and health of each participant seriously. We go to great lengths to ensure participants remain healthy and safe throughout the trip.

Therefore, no participant is allowed to be alone in any city; Royal Servants always travel in groups of three or more, and when possible, with either a male or Summer Staff in each group. The Trip Leaders also continually monitor conditions within the host country before and during the trip. The team will be moved to a stable location if a situation threatens the team's security, whether from political or environmental conditions.

Qualified Leadership

Royal Servants mission trips are led by Reign Ministries’ staff, not part-time volunteers. Our staff care deeply about students and see leadership as a privilege. Each staff member is intensively trained on how to connect with and lead students. They are fully engaged in every aspect of the mission trip, whether being involved in ministry, leading Bible studies, or just hanging out building relationships. They are intentional to ensure that each student is discipled beginning at Training Camp and through debriefing prior to returning home.
