History

1995
Darren Davis, founder of LIGHT International, first received the call to raise up a generation to impact the nations for the Lord in 1993 after a missions’ trip to Albania. After this revelation from the Lord, Darren walked away from his career in corporate America and attended Christ for the Nations Institute.

1997
This divine revelation did not become a reality until 1997 when Darren graduated from Christ for the Nations Institute and became a missions’ pastor at Fullness Christian Fellowship in Birmingham, Alabama.

During this season Darren and his wife Wendy began to minister overseas, helping establish and strengthen the churches and ministries planted by their former international classmates from Christ for the Nations.

2000
In January 2000 Darren officially launch LIGHT International (formerly LIGHT Ministries). Together with his first full-time staff member, Mark Whitten, Darren began to sponsor regular short-term outreaches.

2001
A year later, LIGHT International had grown to five full-time staff members and God used this team to minister alongside the local churches in Ireland, Italy, England, Brazil, Argentina, Australia, Papua New Guinea, Honduras, Croatia, Albania, Switzerland, India, Vietnam and Canada.

These trips laid the foundation for long-term outreach relationships – both personal and spiritual – that Expedition now fosters.

2003
In April 2003 LIGHT International relocated to Ft. Lauderdale, Florida and launched its first church plant, The Harbour. In an effort to provide local believers with an opportunity to fulfill the Great Commission, Expedition was officially developed by LIGHT International as a short term outreach program for The Harbour.   

Today
Expedition is now used to effectively train up and send out believers into the world as a powerful army of the Lord. Every year our Expedition leadership team form new relationships with churches and ministries worldwide, while at the same time providing ongoing ministry support to our existing overseas partners – who we consider our extended family members.

Expedition is also being reproduced and implemented in other churches, ministries and small groups that may not have an existing missions program. In this way we are serving the body of Christ at large by empowering them with the same vision of raising up a nameless, faceless army that will bring the light of Christ to all people groups living in darkness.
