What is a Church Missions Trip? What are the benefits for Church Mission Trips?

Short Term Mission Trips are exciting ways to get your Church Group involved and help people all over the world while experiencing a new culture while helping the missionaries on the mission field.  People from many age groups join together for a common goal on short term mission trips getting up close and personal with what God is doing around the world.  It's so awakening to go on short term mission trips because it sparks a passion for missions and giving.  What was Jesus’ mission statement? (Luke 19:10"For the Son of man is come to seek and to save that which was lost."   This is the very heart of missions.)  Many times the criticism against short term mission trips sounds so righteous and sanctimonious and yet it fails the test of judging the servant or service of another.  If you want to know the effectiveness of short term mission trips, check out I & II Thessalonians in the New Testament.  

Some denominations have missions programs that will allow you to do a short-term mission program.  Many of the larger churches have short-term programs that will allow you to "try on" missions.  Meanwhile many church pastors and leaders are very busy ministering and feeding their congregation and their needs.  That is where an organization dedicated to church mission trips would greatly benefit the leadership of the church by working out all the time consuming details for your group.  


Our Vision is to serve as a launching pad for churches and youth groups to send their people to be trained and sent out on short term mission trips around the world, fulfilling the great commission.  Church group mission trips are the best way to get your feet wet in international, world missions and the team members will feel like family by the end of the mission trip.  All of our short term missions trips, mission internships, missions training, and medical mission trips that we specifically promote are focused on this goal of taking the love of Christ to the unreached people groups of the world.  

We would love for you to be a part of our mission's vision by joining in on a Christian mission trip or internship, by faithfully praying for the ministries and the people internationally, by adopting an unreached people group, or by helping to financially support missions work, send an individual on a youth mission trip or support for a youth group mission trip, supporting international missionaries.
