Mission Trips with Purpose | Adventures in Missions

Adventures in Missions · Since 1989
Short-term mission trips for youth groups, adults, families, and teams, built with partners who were there before you came and will be there after you leave.
Since 1989 we have mobilized the Church to join Jesus in His work at home and abroad. We handle the housing, meals, ministry schedule, and partner relationships; you lead your people. More than thirty destinations in the United States, Central America, the Caribbean, Africa, and Europe.
You are not too busy, and it is not too late. Give God a week.
Adventure. Purpose. A chance to make a difference.
Safe places where stories can be shared and grace given.
We arrive in the urgent days and stay through recovery.
Your kids learn what you show them. Show them how to serve.
There is a generation hungry to spread the Kingdom. Let's do it.
Individuals looking for somewhere to serve?
Gap Year, World Race, Ambassador, Beauty for Ashes and more.
Disaster Recovery and Rebuilding
Can't find what you're looking for?
We build trips around your group, not the other way around.
Fill out the short trip request form or call 800-881-2461. Tell us how many are coming, the ages, the dates you have in mind, and the kind of ministry your students would do well in.
A Mission Coordinator walks you through the destinations that fit, with current dates and prices. Most sites run 5-day and 7-day trips through the spring and summer.
One $500 deposit per group holds your week and counts toward the total. From then on your Mission Coordinator is your main contact until you leave.
You get fundraising and communication tools for your participants, a packing list, and a dress code. The balance is due in two payments: half three months out and the rest two months out, along with your final headcount.
About a month before departure your Mission Leader reaches out. On the ground, that leader stays with your team all week, coordinates ministry with our local partner, and leads the evening debrief and worship.
A family group and a youth group at the same site will have different weeks. We build the schedule with our local partner around your ages, gifts, and purpose.
Our partners at home and overseas have hosted short-term teams for years and know their neighborhoods. You join their work rather than starting something that ends when you leave.
Every team gets a trained, certified Mission Leader who is with you all week, coordinates the ministry, and leads the nightly debrief and worship.
You get fundraising and communication tools for your participants, a Mission Coordinator from booking to departure, and straight answers when something changes.
Every trip sets aside time to listen to God, not just talk to Him. It is the habit people most often say they brought home.
We choose partners focused on sustainability, so your week adds to lasting change in a community instead of a one-time event.
For young adults who want months instead of a week, our World Race programs send squads around the world.
11 months · 6 countries · Ages 21 to 30
9 months · 4 countries · Ages 17 to 21
1 to 4 months · 1 to 2 countries · Ages 18 to 30
