Haitian Missions Trip 2011 Updates - Group Going In June

Haiti is still very much in need of assistance and a helping hand.  We are planning a team right now to go to southwestern Haiti this coming June of 2011.  There is much to do in various areas such as finishing the agricultural project that is almost completed, get a well drilled for a good water source, and starting the process of building the orphanage and building the funding sources and backing to sustain this for a long-term and sustainable resource for the unfortunate children.
For more information or to get involved with Haiti Missions or Short Term Mission Trips contact Youth Quests today.

Piura and Cuidad Noe, Peru Medical Mission Trip

This is your chance to make a difference in the lives of the Peruvian people!

Peru ranks amongst the world's amazing centers of historic civilization. They continue to fascinate travelers and archaeologists alike. Peru can be found in the west central section of South America and is particularly a nation of geographical and cultural contrast. Peru is the 19th largest nation on the planet and is bordered north by Ecuador, to the south by Chile and Bolivia, towards the east by Columbia and Brazil and also to the west with the Pacific Ocean. Peru is a unique country as a result of the climatic, natural and cultural difference of its regions, which consist of coast, sierra and jungle.

Peru is populated by over 23 million people, largely descendents of Spanish settlers as well as native Inca and pre-Inca civilizations. Currently there are three national languages: Spanish, and the native Quechua and Aymara, reflecting the native Indian and Spanish origins which cultivate modern Peruvian society.

The main purposes of this mission trip is medical missions and work on a local construction project. You will have many chances to evangelize among the local people and youth of the community.  Throughout your stay in Piura you will have the opportunity to be a blessing to many by the work project you will be completing or the medical missions outreach in Cuidad Noe (City of Noah). You will come in contact with many children at our hosts training school and church. You may also have the privilege of evangelizing in the nearby villages, bringing hope to the lost as well as being an encouragement for many others.  There will be countless opportunities for ministry and spiritual mentoring in your leisure times and social activities.

What exactly is a Short Term Mission Trip? Part 4 of 4

Have you at any time thought that you simply dreamed of being a part of something good and wonderful, yet had not been certain just how “the pieces of the puzzle” joined together? Often times that's the feeling any time choosing to get involved with a mission trip. However you may well be not sure on exactly how it all works. We hope this will be able to answer some questions you may have.


What If I Want to Go but I Can not Afford It?

Spending about two weeks in another country is usually not going to come cheap. But if God desires you to be there, then He will provide to get you there.




Pray about what God would like you to do, as well as where He desires you to go. Several people that have full-time jobs would love to take these opportunities and can also afford to do so, yet simply cannot spare the time, or perhaps cannot go since they have children or even some other restrictions. So if you genuinely wish to go, and cannot have the funds to go yourself, raise the money. We make an effort to provide fund raising tips and opportunities for each short term trip.



So what's Coming Up?
The following short-term trips are currently planned. Click on a link below for more details:
