Short-Term Missions Trips

Working to make disciples of all nations.

Short-term trips can result in a person’s long-term heart change. They are a great opportunity to bring encouragement to permanent missionaries and spread the Good News of the Gospel to the nations.

Going on a Short-Term Mission Trip

In our effort to make disciples, we send short-term teams to other parts of the world. This experience gives team members exposure to how God is working around the globe in people of various tribes, tongues, and nations. Our hope is that each person who travels abroad returns home with a changed heart to serve people worldwide, but also in their own community.

  • What do we do during our trip?
    • Wheelchair distribution
    • Home builds
    • Home visits

    During distributions, the disabled are given new wheelchairs, as well as canes and crutches, and then they are prayed for by pastors from local churches before being sent on their way. Teams also build new metal homes for families. These homes typically include a fuel-efficient wood stove, sturdy bunk beds, and a poured concrete floor. The team also distributes food, clothes, and Bibles throughout the week as they visit the poor in rural villages.

  • Want to go to Guatemala?

    For those interested in going on a short-term trip, we ask that you adhere to the following guidelines:

    The per-person travel expenses are typically between $1,500 and $2,000, plus the fundraising costs for the trip projects. Fundraising begins immediately after the team has been selected.
