Exemplifying Christian service, servant leadership, and unity, Grove City College students travel to destinations throughout the United States, and beyond, developing ministry partnerships with local churches to minister as a reflection of the light of God’s love into a world of need.
Serving alongside various ministry partners, Inter-Community Outreach (ICO) teams have served at food pantries, homeless shelters and clothing donation shops, worked on construction projects, assisted with youth ministry, led Bible studies and worship services, as well as brought encouragement and support to pastors and local church congregations. Each ICO trip is initiated by students and is student led. With a dozen ICO trips occurring annually, during fall break, Thanksgiving break, winter break, and spring break, the College provides training and resources to the leaders of each approved trip.
“ICO Guatemala, for me, was my first introduction to international, short-term missions. Working with at-risk children, serving in the local Guatemalan community, and sharing the gospel of Jesus Christ with the native K’iche people were all eye-opening and blessed experiences. Seeing the pure joy on the children’s faces as our team played games with them, cooked meals, and share Jesus with them (in Spanish) is something that will stay with me forever.” — Brad Pietryga ’12
