Mission Trips

Mission trips are designed for all ages and especially for families to travel together. The recommended minimum age for travelers is usually 12 with a parent, but often younger children are welcome. For all of our trips, we go as a learner, to build a deeper relationship with our mission partner, and to bring the love and encouragement of Jesus Christ.
