STEP Walk

STEP = Student Tuition Expense Program

STEP helps children and young people in 14 countries receive an education in a Christian environment.

  • Can you imagine kids in this country sitting in a classroom that has no desks, chalkboard or books?
  • What if their classroom was out in the forests of Thailand? Or in an unheated room high in the Andes mountains of Chile?
  • How do you choose between feeding your family or buying the required school uniform?

A monthly contribution of $15/child or $25/young person provides not only for the student’s educational needs, but also for assistance with food, clothing, books, and other school supplies.

During the World Mission Conference you will have the chance to be the feet of Christ, and take some STEPs to change a life! The STEP walk fundraiser is 4 kilometers or 2.5 miles. There’s no age limit to participate!

Forms and more information are available on the Downloads Page.
