Why a mission trip?


A mission trip is a life changing event.  There are life skills that are built into the mission trip any teenager will benefit from learning.  You will gain new abilities to understand people and increase your relationship skills as you meet new and different people.  You will learn leadership skills as you take on new responsibilities.  Sometime during the trip you will discover your ability to learn new skills.  You may get the chance to build something for the first time including using tools you never thought you’d use.  You could learn to share your faith with a complete stranger giving you the confidence to speak in front of others.  A mission trip is a stretching experience far more than whatever is competing with your time.

You will encounter Jesus in new, fresh, and powerful ways.  There is no experience that connects us to Jesus like a mission trip.  

I can't wait to be able to serve with you this summer!
