Mission Trips

Italy – a land rich with history, color, flavors, music, and more! This destination may seem like a great place to take a vacation, but there is plenty to do to further the Kingdom of God in this beautiful country.

The Andes Mountains jut out of the ground straight up into the sky, making one feel small and insignificant. They are so vast it is almost more than the eyes can behold. Our bus crawled slowly along the winding, steep roads, our mouths agape at the astounding beauty. And as I looked closer, I realized those were not rocks and…

Whose life did this impact the most: the pastor, the thousands of Christians that he was leading, or our team member? The young Alaskan girl hops…
