FOR THE ROAD AHEAD

The key objective of Missions Week is spiritual enrichment and support.

Our typical invitee pours their heart and strength out for the people they have been called to every single day. For one week, allow us to swap places and serve you.

Below is a sample schedule for a day at port and a day at sea. Every day will be different.

FILLED TO OVERFLOWING

Ministry

Missions Week includes a full conference - worship, teaching, prayer ministry, impartation, testimonies, altar calls, and more.

PIONEERING VOICES IN GLOBAL MISSIONS

✦

Our key guest speakers are trailblazers who have shaped the missions community through extraordinary personal testimonies and inspiring personal devotion.

WORSHIP WITH THE RISING SUN & UNDER THE STARS

✦

Immerse yourself in hours of devotional sets and musical worship each day aboard. Let live worship create the perfect atmosphere for rest, reflection, and engagement with the Lord. Before sunrise, approaching midnight, and the many hours in between.

BUILD COMMUNITY

Fellowship

MATCHED MEETINGS

Connect one-on-one with our staff members and other invited guests in personalized meetings. We want to connect with all of our guests and create opportunities for our guests to connect with one another.

✦

We use lunchtime for family, fellowship, and fun. Enjoy casual eats, a vast gourmet buffet, or a seated 3-course menu.

Every evening, Missions Week attendees will dine together in the spirit of the family table as Beyond’s extraordinary chefs create dishes and menus that spark connections and conversations. We look forward to sharing remarkable meals and unforgettable conversations with all our guests.

✦

GROUP LUNCHES & DINNERS

Engage in organized discussions with peers on topics that matter most to you. You will have the chance to submit discussion ideas or join conversation topics that spark your interest.

✦

PEER-TO-PEER DISCUSSIONS

MAKE LASTING CONNECTIONS

Social

Some of the most meaningful conversations happen in the spaces between—the kind that unfold over a sunrise cup of coffee on deck, during an evening soak in the hot tub under the stars, or while watching the ocean roll by from a quiet corner.

✦

NATURAL CONNECTIONS

HAPPY HOUR AT SUNSET

Join us for relaxed networking opportunities where you can connect with both Homeward staff and fellow attendees. Share stories, build relationships, and discover new partnerships in a warm, welcoming environment while sharing refreshing pre-dinner drinks.

✦

SHORESIDE ADVENTURES

Excursions

We offer excursions that match the richness of the destination with your personal interests and pursuits. Enjoy breathtaking landscapes, immersive cultural tours, serene break breaks, and adrenaline-charged adventures - there’s something to satisfy every family.

Whether you are an experienced thrill seeker - or your greatest thrill is getting an even tan - we have group excursions and activities for you to consider.

FOR CHILDREN OF ALL AGES

Childcare

“For the kingdom of heaven belongs to such as these.”

Whenever you step into conference sessions, your children (ages 3 and up) will enjoy a spiritually enriching program of their own. Designed specifically for the children of our missionaries and ministers, our staff ensure your little ones are safe, engaged, and growing in their own faith journey. By day, children enjoy pools and outdoor activities onboard; at night, they are organized into age groups for spiritually-focused lessons and activities. Of course, there will be plenty of pizza and special treats along the way.

FAMILY-FRIENDLY CARIBBEAN ADVENTURES

✦

Create lasting memories together with family-friendly shore excursions at each port. Explore the beauty and culture of the Caribbean as a family, making your conference experience one that everyone will treasure.

CAMP AT SEA

✦

When we're sailing the open seas, your kids can enjoy all the excitement of Celebrity Cruise’s Camp at Sea program in addition to the Homeward childcare program. From games and activities to new friendships with other young travelers, there's never a dull moment.
