Mission Trip

“God isn’t looking for people of great faith, but for individuals ready to follow Him.”– Hudson Taylor

Why me?

That is a good question. There will always be people we can think of that are way more qualified than us and that we think would do a better job than us. The truth is though that God may have this opportunity in store for you to grow in some specific area of your life. You can be sure a mission trip will be an great experience in your life.

What would I do?

Most mission trips involve:

-manual labor, ranging from digging a foundation to preparing crafts.

-fellowship, with staff, other workers, campers.

-personal growth, through devotionals, prayer times, being in another culture.

-rest, a little time for recreation is always included!

When to come?

Any time, depends what works for you. In Brazil January and July are the months of school vacation and when we have our week long camps for kids and teens. The rest of the year we have church retreats going on almost every weekend. Summer and winter in Brazil are opposite from the USA (Brazil is below the equator).
