For one incredible week, our 2026 Bushnell University Kosova Missions Team 🇽🇰 shared the gospel by serving alongside ministry partners and building meaningful relationships on the university's first-ever mission trip to Kosova.
Based in Gjakova, our Beacons partnered with Metush and Nora through Forward Edge's Cornerstone Kosova ministry, which provides educational support, nutritious meals, shelter building, and meaningful connections for children and their families. The team also experienced the rich history and culture of the region, including a visit to a 13th-century Orthodox church that offered an opportunity to reflect on Kosova's place within the region of Illyricum during the era of Ancient Rome, which the Apostle Paul referenced traveling to in Romans 15:19.
Through a family connection with our Forward Edge partners, the team also connected with several girls' basketball teams through practices and scrimmages, building friendships with players and their families.
Great job, Beacons! Thank you for making history as the first Bushnell team to serve in Kosova and for faithfully sharing Christ's love with the communities you encountered.

Come along and see what a sunny lunch break looks like for the team working to get our university ready for the fall semester!

For just over two weeks, our 2026 Bushnell University Cambodia Missions Team 🇰🇭 had the opportunity to serve alongside local ministry partners, build meaningful relationships, and share the hope of Jesus with communities throughout Cambodia.
Spending time in and around Phnom Penh and Siem Reap, our Beacons immersed themselves in Cambodia's history and culture through experiences such as taking a Khmer culture and language class and visiting several significant historical sites.
Working alongside local teachers and pastors, the team shared the Gospel with students through songs and Bible stories, taught English through games, and led fun crafts. They also helped build shelters in a village four hours outside of Phnom Penh, serving local families in practical and meaningful ways.
Great job, Beacons! We loved seeing you serve and share Christ's love with so many communities throughout Cambodia.
