Engage with Muslims
What if this Christmas, instead of simply celebrating the story of Christ’s birth, you helped someone hear it for the very first time? Join us in a nation where 88% of the population is Muslim. Spend your days being trained, equipped, and sent to share the Gospel with those who may have never met a follower of Jesus. Christmas opens unique doors for conversations about hope, peace, and the Savior of the world. Will you answer the call to go where so few are willing?
Share with University Students
Spend your Christmas break on mission in one of the least-reached places in North America. Join ministry partners in Quebec as they build relationships with university students and share the life-changing hope of Jesus.
Quebec has a unique spiritual landscape. Generations of religious tension have left many people disconnected from faith, creating a culture that is largely post-Christian. Yet across university campuses, many young adults are asking big questions and searching for something real, authentic, and lasting.
This Christmas, you’ll have the opportunity to use your unique gifts, interests, and personality to connect with students, serve alongside local ministries, and have meaningful Gospel conversations. Whether through campus outreach, community events, or everyday interactions, you’ll experience what it’s like to live on mission while encouraging others with the only hope that truly satisfies.
If you’re looking for a Christmas break that will challenge your faith, expand your perspective, and make an eternal impact, this is it.
Deliver Hope
Serve in Luxembourg, one of Europe’s smallest yet most diverse countries, where many native Luxembourgish speakers have never had access to Scripture in their own language. Partner with local believers to distribute the newly translated portions of Scripture, opening doors for conversations about Jesus and the hope found in His Word. Be part of an opportunity to help make God’s truth accessible in Luxembourg.
P3K Missions Lab
The Missions Lab is a one-week immersive experience designed to give students a firsthand look at what it means to live on mission while serving alongside IMB P3000 Explorers during their pre-field training in a major U.S. city. Throughout the week, students will learn from these P3000 explorers, gaining insight into the rhythms of missionary life, cross-cultural ministry, and faithful gospel witness. Together, they will engage diverse people groups from around the world, as we have many opportunities right here in our cities to engage the nations in our backyard. Through practical training, intentional relationships, and hands-on ministry, students will not only serve alongside the Explorers but also begin discerning how God may be calling them to participate in His global mission—including the possibility of serving as a P3000 Explorer in the future.
Christmas Store
Spend your Christmas break making a meaningful difference with The Root Cellar’s Christmas Store! This unique outreach gives parents the opportunity to shop for brand-new jackets, boots, and toys for their children at affordable prices, helping them create a memorable Christmas for their families. Last year, the store served more than 100 families and 300 children.
As part of the team, you’ll help bring the Christmas Store to life by welcoming families, assisting parents as they shop, serving as a cashier, wrapping gifts, and creating a warm, encouraging experience for every guest. Throughout the week, you’ll have opportunities to build relationships, share the hope of Jesus through practical acts of love, and participate in additional local service projects. Come be part of a week that brings joy, hope, and the love of Christ to families during the Christmas season.

You’ll partner with local schools, throw festive block parties, serve meals to people experiencing homelessness, volunteer at a neighborhood food pantry, spread Christmas cheer by singing carols in public spaces, and so much more.
