This September…
IMMERSE YOURSELF
12 WEEKS. THAILAND. JESUS.
A 12-week immersive experience in Phuket, Thailand for those who want to adventure deeper with Jesus through exploring Thai culture, missions, Bible classes, and discipleship.
Imagine this: Twelve intense weeks living in Thailand that you’ll never forget. Twelve weeks that will permanently shape your entire life perspective. Twelve weeks of living in community with new friends, experiencing a new culture, and discovering God’s heart for his world.
This is not your typical gap semester!
JSEM seeks to transform all involved through personal discipleship, biblical education, and the real life challenges of overseas justice and compassion ministries…all in a cross-cultural context!
The purpose is to foster an opportunity for God to be glorified through education, exposure/experience, and discipleship. Grapple with the transforming words and Spirit of Jesus Christ. Engage with an organization that is committed to breaking chains of oppression. Reflect and marinate on both the love of God and the complications of a fallen world.
Explore your faith, a new culture, missions, and God’s calling. Imagine what growth can come through this experience. Come home transformed and equipped for wherever God calls you next. JSEM is an adventure awaiting YOU.
This is YOUR Justice Semester.
Justice Semester is a partnership between Envision Canada and For Freedom International
Justice semester is for...
…All those with big and little questions about LIFE and personal identity. All those who know they have a purpose and want to pursue it. All those wondering what to do with their lives. All those who aren’t content simply drifting along. We all want to know where and how we belong. We wonder what our talents, skills, and abilities are for and how they can be used in God’s grander plans for his world. JSEM is for those who are hungry for truth, and are ready to take a step of faith to pursue a biblical worldview in order to help answer these personal questions…

GO
Book that ticket. Get on the plane. Then another plane. And another. Land in Thailand. Breathe. Get shorts on. Now, GO.
There’s something sacred to getting away. Phuket is one of the most beautiful places in the world. Unlock this picturesque island. Make it your home for the next 3 months.
LEARN
Know Jesus. Expand your global perspective. Study deeply. Explore cultural bias and seek truth in a world struggling to define justice. Experience rich community set in a distinct culture. Make lifelong friends. Break ground every week in God’s word. The Bible is a deep well that will cause you to fall in love with Jesus, make you alive, and guide you. Let’s get into it.
Transform
Let exposure change you. See life and brokenness in its raw form. Listen, speak, read. Let Jesus’ transformation mold you. The goal of this experience isn’t the experience itself, it’s the transformation that happens in the process. Surrender to God’s purposes for your life.
Engage
Turn your passion and vigor into action. Make a plan from what you learned. Pack it up. Get on that return flight. You’re home again. Tell your story as part of God’s Story. Engage your church. The adventure continues.
JSEM is about the trip home.
JSEM is an initiative of For Freedom International, which exists to break chains of oppression so that people can encounter Christ, live in freedom, and change the world.
We seek to identify and develop future leaders who innovate, establish, and strengthen communities of faith through Jesus Christ.
