2026 Mission Trips:

Kenya – June 25- July 6, 2026
- We work in partnership with the Kenyan Baptist Convention and our on the ground team, led by pastor David Gitau. This year, our evangelism team will plant four churches in rural areas north of Nairobi where there is no church. Our team begins at the location where the church will be and from there will spread out in different directions sharing the gospel with everyone we meet. Each afternoon we gather to sing, preach, pray, and dedicate the church. Our VBS team will work with established churches in the area who have connections with schools and will have the opportunity to share the gospel, play games, and share a Bible lesson with hundreds of kids. Each year God works in amazing ways through our team to accomplish His Kingdom purpose.

Guatemala Construction & VBS – July 10-19, 2026
- Our team travels to one of the most remote areas in Guatemala called Comitancillo, where we partner with a ministry called Mission House, who serve widows and single mothers in various ways. We will have two components to our trip: house construction and VBS. Our goal is to build thirteen houses for families in need and host VBS for the families and children in the area where we are building the houses. If you feel called to serve, we invite you to be part of this transformative experience.

Guatemala Medical/VBS -July 17-25, 2026
- Our team travels to one of the most remote areas of Guatemala called Comitancillo, where we partner with a ministry called Mission House, who serve widows and single mothers in various ways. We will have two components to our trip: medical clinics and VBS. We will offer medical clinics to local communities and families, providing to them basic medical care to meet their needs. Each patient seen will have the opportunity to hear the gospel and decide to receive Christ. During the medical clinics, VBS will be held by our VBS team, teaching kids about the life-saving message of Jesus Christ and showing the love of Christ to hundreds of children. If you feel called to serve, we invite you to be part of this transformative experience.

Guatemala College Mission Trip – July 27-August 2, 2026

This mission trip offers a unique opportunity for 18 TO 23 YEAR OLDS to build homes for widows and their families, providing them with a safe and stable place to live. In addition to construction, we will share the gospel with the families we serve, offering them the hope and love of Christ. This is more than just a trip—it’s a chance to make a lasting difference in the lives of others while growing in faith and fellowship.
