Short Term Serving Trips
Short Term – a few days, two weeks, six months; you go, serve and return home.
Serving – working alongside people of a different culture bringing glory to God and making long lasting change in lives…yours and theirs.
Trips – stateside or international immersion into a different culture.
You can participate in different ways:
GO experience a different culture and expand your world view.
SEND others. Team members raise 90% of their own expenses through the support of others. This emphasizes dependence on God’s provision and support of one another.
PRAY for teams. Prayer support is needed to empower teams to meet the challenges faced.
If you have any interest in any of the short term mission trips listed here, please contact the person listed, or you can contact shorttermmissions@pathwaychurchonline.com
