We believe one of the best ways to "get" the gospel of grace, is to experience it.  Sometimes it is hard for us to experience grace deeply as we go about our daily routines in comfortable, suburban America.  There is something about God's family getting out of their comfort zone and serving God's Kingdom together that changes lives.

What do we hope to accomplish?

• To show God's grace through word and deed
• To educate members through hands-on experience
• To meet real needs on the mission field
• To learn afresh a spirit of self-sacrifice and dependence on God
• To bring families closer together by serving God's Kingdom together

How can I serve?

YOU CAN PRAY

Prayerfully consider your involvement. It may or may not be God’s plan for you to pack your bags for Timbuktu, but He does desire that you have His heart for nations, that men and women from every people would worship Him.

YOU CAN SEND
Bon voyage! Short-term missionaries are not just those who pack their bags and get on a plane. It is God who will accomplish His purpose through the work of our hands, and the battle is spiritual not physical. Therefore, the prayer and financial support given by those who are not physically present on the field is vital.

YOU CAN GO
Pack your bags and fasten your seatbelts for the journey of a lifetime! You’ll receive extensive training from staff/team leaders and be equipped to be used by God to work in the hearts of people. You will be stretched and challenged and will come home with a new perspective on God’s global plan and a changed life.

What will be required of me?

• Participation in 80% of the team’s pre-field and cross-cultural training meetings as well as team building exercises required by your leader.

• Recruiting three prayer partners who will commit to pray daily for your team while you are on the field.

• Raising the required funds for your trip. If you will not be paying for the trip yourself, the missions department has resources available to help you raise the needed funds. Finances should never keep you from participating in a mission trip.

• Personal health insurance, a passport, and immunizations for some foreign trips. These costs are in addition to the published costs for each trip.
