I want to do something next summer (or during the school year, doesn’t matter) and get involved in international outreach mission work. Next summer I’ll be a junior in highschool, so I don’t know what’s available to me or how to find a organization. I know I can get better information from my church and everything, but right now I’m just sifting my options and figuring out how to find a group or organization to go with, where it’s going, and what I’ll be expected to do… be it relational, physical or aiding. I’m in southern Oklahoma/texoma area, if that helps.
I homeschool so I am not connected with any school.
Price is no deterrent… neither is whatever labor is involved. God will send me where he wants me, regardless of the details.
you really will find the best information at your church. I’m going on my church’s high school mission trip this summer. keep in mind that they are expensive though. I’m going to one in-state and it’s over $300. you will be expected to build houses, feed people, etc. sometimes groups may do stuff like put on a VBS for the kids. good luck!!
*edit* Joel Osteen’s church is called Lakewood Church, but it’s in Houston. Lakewood, Texas is near Dallas

Why don’t you ask some churches in your area.

You could just look up missionary websites and contact them. They might say you can come on over for a little bit.
Does your highschool have any christian clubs that go on mission trips? Does your church go on mission trips?

I’m pretty sure Joell Osteen’s church has something that might help you. But it’s in Lakewood, Texas.
