1 to 2 Week Mission Trips

Great movements in missions have almost always been led by young people—young people with a heart and passion for the glory of Christ.

From the Great Awakening in the 1730s to modern times, an army of young missionaries has scattered to the four corners of the earth. Many went out never expecting to see their families again. Some died of disease within a few years. A few were martyred. All made great sacrifices.

In the words of missionary William Carey, these men and women believed they could "attempt great things for God and expect great things from God."

Everybody knows what missions is. Well, don’t they?

So what would you say it is? Is it feeding the homeless? Picking up trash? Loving on children who are hurting? Is it evangelizing the lost?

There are three ways you can know God is calling you to missions:

    • Conan O’Brien appears with angel wings telling you to go to Asia
    • God’s voice interrupts the music on your iPod with specific instructions
    • You open a Dove chocolate with the message, "Here You Are. I Am Sending You."

Skills Development

Well. You've realized that God has called you to go, serve, and give of yourself. But what if you aren’t sure you have what it takes?  

Are you interested in teaching English in another country, but don't know where to begin? How about leading a discipleship group? Running a sports clinic? Responding to a disaster?  Mentoring another believer? Hosting a VBS?

Or maybe you’d like to learn how to apply gifts and skills you already have in a cross cultural setting.

Having specific skills can help your ministry be more effective. And each new opportunity and experience is a point of growth and a step forward in serving Christ.

Check out these opportunities—we'd love to help you grow. But in the end, it is Christ who will go with you. And you'll learn to depend on Him as never before.
