Why Take a Mission Trip?

    Mission trips are a wonderful way for God to use YOU in the lives of nationals, the missionaries, and your companions. God also works in your life. Pray, then talk with your pastor about taking a mission trip. We can help your church organize a mission trip for you with your missionaries or our contacts.
