Learn where we’re going and apply today.

Why should your family go on mission?

The old adage is true.

More is caught than taught.

What better way to disciple our children and fill them with a lifelong vision for walking with and serving Christ than by doing ministry together? Not only that, but families will minister alongside other families, influencing each other’s kids to walk with Christ.

Our hope is to impact families who join us on mission to experience Jesus more deeply for themselves and for them to have greater impact for the Kingdom, wherever God has placed them. Through devotions, training, and time together as a family, along with on the ground experiences, we believe your family will not only have an incredible time, but will also walk away equipped for life-long ministry.

Not all mission trips make sense for all ages. Look up our trips based on your family’s current life stage.

Testimonials

“We are already thinking through who we would love to come with us next time. It was fantastic that the kids got to ‘do’ some of the parts of the evangelism.”

“I had the privilege of leading several people to Christ after sharing my personal story and presenting the gospel. I saw my children’s perspective on material possessions change. I saw them grow in confidence and develop more of a heart to reach people with the good news.”

“Really, it is not unlike (ministering to) Americans and it made this week very transferrable to coming back home and engaging in these conversations.”

“I have shared my faith a lot through the years. To do this with my son was amazing. He watched me share the gospel. I watched him share his story. It was really fun to see. Plus, it was great to see kids of all ages and stages contributing.”
