Church Based Mission Trips
How about a team from your church going in 2009? We have many exciting opportunities already presenting themselves for 2009 and we are looking for groups to fill them. If you are interested get in touch and talk to Karen. Read on for more information.
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 help to raise funds before the trip, pray whilst the team are away and then continue to support projects long after the team return. And then the team, when it returns, 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
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 and learn about the culture they are in whilst also getting 'the work' done. All travel, accommodation, meal arrangements and visas are organised by MV. 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'.
