Get involved by serving on one of our short-term teams! We are always seeking short-term team members to serve in our various ministry locations.
Why take a mission trip? Here are some thoughts to consider:
- You will use your skills, time, and strength to assist with a need.
- You will have an opportunity to encourage a missionary face-to-face.
- You will realize a new level of faith as you leave your comfort zone and trust in God’s provision.
- You will need to be flexible and serve.
- You will gain a greater compassion and concern for foreign nationals as you see them face challenges on a day-to-day basis.
- You will learn to appreciate even more of what God has given you.
- You will obtain a greater vision for missions and may be called to serve full-time!

Testimonies from previous team members:
“It gave me a new perspective on what is important in terms of eternity.” – Male, age 48, director of a company
“Through this amazing trip I learnt many life- changing lessons. Many team members go into these trips thinking that they will do their part, return home, and continue on with their lives. I have learned though, that there is nothing as rewarding and beneficial…and how it has changed my heart!” – Female, age 17, student
“God’s work doesn't always need people with learned skills, but people with a willingness to serve Him for His Glory.” – Male, age 46, police officer
“It was exciting to go into an environment to show Jesus’ love in a practical way. There were very few luxuries, but it was really challenging to observe how the missionaries and the believers from the village totally depended on God for their every need.” – Female, age 38, housewife and cook
