While horse racing and fields of native Bluegrass may be the first things that come to mind when you think of Kentucky, the state is much more complex than that. The eastern portion of the state is one of the most naturally beautiful places to be found in the Lower 48. At the same time, it is one of the poorest regions in the nation. This environmental richness combined with economic poverty provides unique opportunities to completely immerse oneself in Appalachian culture.
A Wonder Voyage to Kentucky lets you wear an explorer’s hat while using your servant’s muscles. With time dedicated to venturing in the forests, mountains, and canyons, you can breathe free and enjoy the beauty of creation. Serving in the communities of Appalachia provides opportunities to understand poverty and the need for environmental stewardship. The beauty of Kentucky awaits.
