Why you should go

Trailblaze among gospel-deprived people.

As a short-term missionary, you'll be on the frontier field, sharing the gospel with the most unreached people on earth. You may be the vessel God uses to bring the good news to them for the very first time.

This trip won't just advance the gospel — it could be one of the greatest events of your life. Your walk with the Lord will grow to new heights as you spend yourself reaching the most gospel-deprived people throughout Southeast Asia.

Jesus commissioned every Christian into this service. As a short-term missionary, you're going to be the mouthpiece of the gospel to those who need it most.

What you'll gain

Open to churches and individuals

Every trip is tailored for the highest impact possible, ensuring the fruit remains long after you return home.

For pastors & church leaders

Expect your members to come home with missionary passion for your city and ministry focus areas. Short-term trips supercharge people with a passion for the lost wherever they are — during the trip and once they return home.
