SHORT TERM MISSION TRIPS
Learn, Encourage, Enable
Matthew 28:19-20:
“Therefore go and make disciples of all nations,
baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit
and teaching them to obey everything I have commanded you.
And surely I am with you always, to the very end of the age.”
We are passionate about connecting cultures and making long-term Christian relationships through correctly done Short-Term Mission Trips. We take small teams to limit our impositions on our local partners for housing, food and transportation. We also plan our trips during the cheapest times of the year to limit money spent to attend. These small groups spend two-weeks working either in our local school or with our local partners on already existing projects that benefit the community. We work WITH the people, giving dignity back to the poor and enable them to take their own steps toward positively affecting their situations. We believe in only doing STM’s when they support the long-term alleviation process that the local Christian ministry has already begun.We do not give “relief” to the people, we help “develop” WITH the people. We help enable the material poor through encouraging their already God-given talents and skills, not by making them entitled.
