Mission is using all of my life to help people discover and experience the availability of the Kingdom of God through the person and work of Jesus. Part of how we walk this out is through mission trips!
We look at our mission trips as short-term experiences with long-term impact, designed to help you practice Jesus’ lifestyle and receive His heart for both our neighbors and the nations.
Mission trips aren’t our idea, they’re God’s idea. Whether you look at the Old or New Testament, God is always calling, inviting, leading, and empowering His people to live a life of mission.
Committing to go on a mission trip isn’t about one week overseas; it’s engaging in a six-month transformative experience. The heart of our mission trips is to help you grow as a disciple of Jesus. From training and raising funds to actually going on the trip, God does something in you as He does something through you.
Every trip is an invitation to practice what it looks like to be a hope carrier. The goal isn’t painting a wall or getting a cool cultural experience; it’s about serving people and becoming a person of love.
The vision of the trip always determines the qualifications of the team. The mission is always more important than the experience. Each of our partners have a vision to advance the kingdom of God in their community. That’s why our goal is to build teams that both honor and equip our partners to advance that vision.
There are types of qualifications for a trip:
Every year, we’re asking, listening, and responding to what God is doing both in and through our church. We’re also asking God to reveal the right partners and projects that He’s leading us to engage in around the world. There are needs everywhere, so we ask God to show us which projects best advance His rule and reign for the good of others and the glory of God. These are projects built in collaboration with a great partner that advances the kingdom and the vision God has given them to reach their church, city, and country.
