My girlfriend and I, 20 and 21 years old, will be leading worship in New Orleans on a mission trip with the youth group from our church. Though we are not in youth anymore, the youth pastor asked us to come along to lead worship, something we both are really looking forward to. We leave in about a month. I am just looking for some suggestions of good songs to play. I play guitar and sing and she sings extremely well. Thanks for all your help!

Are there any organizations where you can apply for a grant or sponsorship that is dedicated to helping people on mission trips with their costs? If there are such organizations, what are they and what is required to apply for aid?

Yes. But they are normally associated with a particular denomination or a subgroup within a denomination (like a diocese). Contact your pastor or priest or check out the website of whatever denomination you belong to (probably under missions).

Hi, I’m 17, I want to be religious, but I just can’t really feel god all the time… anyways, last year I went with my youth group on a DCI Ministrys mission trip, which was really great and some of the activities were very spiritual and impacting, and the work we did was rewarding.

Anyways, my youthgroup at my Methodist church doesn’t have a real leader, but I think the parents would organize a mission trip if we got it started for them.
i’ve been doing a ton of google searches but would like to ask some real people.

if you know of any organizations or missions around the Pacific Northwest that are fun, rewarding, and spiritually rejuvenating, please let me know!!!!!

Jennifer’s correct in that mission trips can be a "mountain top" experience. I went on my first missions trip when I was a freshman in high school and immediately I was hooked. I found myself out there in situations where the gospel of Christ became real to me. I was no longer just studying Him in a sunday school class. I was active and the cool thing was God was actively using myself and my team mates as we shared the gospel with people we normally would have never seen before. And we saw God move as He brought people to Himself through us. Lives were changed, including ours! It was wonderful! Hard, but life changing! I knew then that this was what I wanted to do with my life.

I later attended DCI Ministries after high school and it was one of the highlights of my life. I’d highly recommend checking them out. On my trips we saw God move as He brought people to Himself through us. Lives were changed, including ours! It was wonderful! Hard, but life changing! It’s great for all ages and all denominations!

Lately, I’ve become extremely interested in participating in a mission trip, but I have no idea how to go about it. I’d be open to any location. The only problem is, I’ll need subsidy. My family is going through a rough time, and I just don’t have the money to go on a mission. If anyone knows of any mission trip organizations that offer financial aid, please let me know! It’d be a great help! Thanks in advance.

I think that most churches that offer financial assistance or who cover the cost of the trips require one to be a member of that church or at least that denomination. I’ve always gone to a small, non-denominational church, and the people going on mission trips from our always had to pay their own way.

I was looking for some information on companies/organizations that offer trips like this to university students during the summer. Length of stay doesn’t matter. I would prefer to travel to Africa.

Preferably answers from people who have traveled with the company or know someone who has. Thank You!

I’ve gone with Adventures In Missions on a few trips and loved it. Great organization if you’re looking for a Christian group.

Every summer my youth group goes on a mission trip. Each year we come up with a creative theme for the trip and for our t-shirts. Please help me come up with some great (appropriate) ideas!

Thanks!!
We are going up to Ohio for a week. We will be helping people around the local community we are staying in. Normally we do stuff to repair their houses or whatever they might need done.

Do you have any more info? Where will you be going and what are you going to be doing on your trip?

My youth group just returned from a short term mission trip and I have been elected to make a slide show accompanied with music for a program at my church. I would like a song by a Christian artist that has lyrics to go with the occasion. Two years ago after our last mission trip, the song Fall in Line by Seven Places was used. I would appreciate any and all suggestions?

I would say legacy by sanctus reel because your showing others the legacy of a christian group.

I’m leaving for a mission trip to El Salvador soon and all we’re allowed to bring is a carry on bag fro all our clothes and necessities. I can’t seem to find any good duffel bags or regular luggage cases. I need help with finding a good one. It has to be less than 14in X 9in X 22in. As well as cost less than $50. Please help. The trip is over spring break.

Wal-mart has a cheap one, it is perfectly durable enough to take for a trip, I got one after thinking the other one (a better brand) was about an inch too big for Delta. The price was about $25. You can wear a coat or jacket, bring an umbrella, a book, and perhaps even wear a scarf or something else that would save you space in that carry-on. I always put things in the pockets too.

I am going on a mission trip with my youth group to build a house in Mexico. I have SO much to pay for already, and getting a passport is just another expense. Where is the cheapest place that you know to get a passport? And can you give me the link?
Thanks =D

There is only one place you can get a passport…thru the U.S. passport service. The price is the same for everyone over 16. If you’re under 16, it is a little cheaper. See site below for all application info and to print out the forms. Then you must turn your application in to the nearest post office with a passport office in it. It is currently taking 4 to 6 weeks to get a passport and you should plan on the 6 weeks…so you need to apply soon as possible.
