Short-Term Trips

To Encourage our Missionaries.

Missionaries are often in spiritually isolated places. They can lack deep fellowship and be absent of anyone else to speak into their lives. Thus, short-term trips serve to bless our sent ones in both word and deed.

On these short-term trips, we seek to strengthen and minister to the needs of our missionaries—spiritually and physically. We pour into them and their family that they might persevere in the good work to which the Lord has called them. Through studying God’s word together, debriefing, counseling, investing in their children, and spending time together, the Lord often greatly encourages his people—this is our aim. 

To Understand the Need. 

By understanding the spiritual need of your sent one’s community and region, you gain a better ability to partner in the work. Thus, we plan to listen and ask good, helpful, mature questions about the spiritual need of the work. We serve our missionaries by providing them space to openly process—with another—how they are engaging the spiritual needs of the lost around them. 

We also seek to interact with locals and spend time with believers and unbelievers. While we might not be experts in the local culture, we can personally grasp the spiritual state of the area through engaging with locals. And upon returning home, we are Lord-willing better equipped to know how to pray, engage, and resource from grasping the spiritual need firsthand. 

To Engage the Work.

Short-term trips are one way we seek to strengthen the local church and evangelize the lost all across the globe. By engaging in the biblical vision of sent ones, we contribute to the advancement of the gospel. The Lord is weaving a glorious work through which we can be a small thread in the overall tapestry.
