Personal Growth & Development - TLA seeks to not only impact the people of El Salvador, but also the team members who go to serve there. Interactive volcano climbs, relax days at the beach, and heart-focused self-reflection retreats are used to develop team members' character, leadership ability, and spirituality in an effort to focus them on God's call to greatness upon their lives, and their pursuit of it upon returning to the United States.

Plan of Action - Each trip is concluded with a 2-day "One Heart; One Mind" Retreat focused on reflecting back on the trip, and developing an action plan on how the lessons that were learned can be applied to the participants' lives upon returning to the United States. In addition, throughout the trip evening group discussions at the conclusion of each day, interactive mountain or volcano climbs, and afternoons at the beach are also used as reflective times for team members to prepare themselves for a purpose-driven lifestyle in their homes, places of employment, on the athletic field, etc.

Vision - For the men and women who travel with us to discover and develop a greater calling for their lives focused on impacting the lives of others that will carry on well beyond their time in El Salvador, and into all aspects of their lives upon returning to the United States.
