We believe that the opportunity for getting involved in the US and the World helps to ignite our hearts for people and for God’s purposes. Short-Term trips of 1-2 week intervals are great opportunities for people to get “their feet wet,” while still maintaining their jobs and personal lives at home. Whether it is assisting a Church Plant in outreach, or helping a community with benevolence work, or getting the whole family involved on a Family trip, the heartbeat of God begins to resonate in each person’s chest as they get intense and focused opportunity to live on mission. So many times, we have great intentions for living this way in our own lives, but we get busy and can lose sight of our calling and destiny as Christians. Taking part in these types of trips helps stimulate our vision and re-connect our values to our daily lives!
CORE and Launch Training Schools
Each year, at the close of training school, our students take part in Short Term Trips. Past years have included Boston, MA and North Africa.
Age Group Ministries
College and Youth students take part in short-term trips both inside and outside the US. Our children have even gotten involved with in-town Fort Worth mission experiences!
Common Ground and the Mighty Men
Dr. Randy Brown took a group of urban students with a large support team to Uganda in the summer of 2009. Many times he was told this couldn’t be done, but of course, God made a way where there was no way!
Future Opportunities
There are several opportunities being looked at for 2010. A Family Trip over spring break to South Texas, a possible South American trip and maybe a trip over the summer to one of our international church plants. Keep checking here and looking out for developments with these opportunities.
