Lancaster Bible College’s many travel experiences help students shape their worldview by experiencing the world. As students broaden their horizons, they deepen their relationship with God through study abroad options. Travel opportunities give students the chance to visit new places, experience other cultures and expand their education. Usually offered annually, trips or tours are short-term opportunities with long-term impact that also enrich student learning through experiences that make the Scriptures come to life.
Below are the exciting LBC trips planned for spring 2025.
TraveLearn
Offered annually, usually during summer sessions, LBC’s TraveLearn Tours often focus on countries where history is unfolded in the pages of biblical Scripture. Israel, Jordan, Egypt, Turkey and Greece are some regular destination in years past, but trips are not limited to these locations.
During TraveLearn trips, students travel with experienced and knowledgeable professors who bring customs and culture to life as sites are explored, explained and even excavated in light of their significance to God’s grand narrative.
Barcelona, Madrid & Paris
LBC Sport Management majors will experience, explore and embark on adventure with a TraveLearn trip to Barcelona and Madrid, Spain, and Paris, France, in May 2025. Students can take up to six academic course credits as they fulfill their LBC cross-cultural requirements. Planned visits during the trip include Notre Dame, Parc des Princes, the Louvre museum, Olympic Museum and more.
Journey Team Trips
Each year, LBC Journey Teams travel to the furthest corners of the world to live out the gospel message by bringing hope to the hopeless. Whether working at an orphanage in Haiti, helping to build a church in Jamaica, teaching English in Germany, doing sports camps in the Philippines or being involved in street evangelism in Thailand, the service of these teams leave a lasting impact on the places they visit and the people they meet—not to mention on the lives of the individual team members. Trips are planned throughout the year and are open to all LBC students to participate.
Journey Teams need two things to be successful—those who go and those who give. Even those who do not physically attend a trip can still play an important role by supporting a team member. Each individual on a team needs to raise the designated amount for their trip; for some students, that can be difficult. By coming alongside them with your gift, you are partnering with their team.

Peru
Over two weeks in May 2025, students who are part of the Journey Team trip to Peru will be involved in Vacation Bible School (VBS), evangelism, partnering with a local church missions team, building a worship facility in the jungle, serving at a local orphanage, teaching English at a local Christian school, participating in church-planting Bible studies, discipling youth and young adults and more.
