Church Partnership
The most effective teams that we send are church-based teams so we aim to make it easy for your church to get involved.
The Church
When a church-based team goes on a trip the whole church gets behind them. They raise funds before the trip, pray whilst the team are away and continue to support projects long afterwards; and when the team returns it brings a new freshness and life back into the church.
The Trips
We support a range of exciting projects and mission bases all over the world that teams can visit. And the focus of the team varies depending on what is needed:
- Evangelistic
- Teaching
- Youth and children’s work
- Construction
- Medical
- Music and Worship
There are two aims for each trip: for the team to be fruitful in their work, and for team members to grow and be stretched through the experience. A well-balanced itinerary is developed with our field-coordinators and indigenous partners allowing for time to adjust to the culture, whilst also getting ‘the work’ done. All transport, accommodation, meal arrangements and visas are organised and the trips normally last 10-14 days and we normally like to start to arrange them at least 6 months before the flight date. Most team members enjoy it so much they want to repeat the experience!
The Training
Our policy is for all teams to be prepared before they go using quality, video-based, participative training. Training covers everything a team member will need to know from information about the culture to what to pack and how to prepare – both spiritually and medically!
Missionary Ventures has grown rapidly with short-term teams at the core of it’s activities. Let us help your church to ‘GO’.
