A short-term mission trip is an opportunity to engage firsthand in God's work around the world. It is a way to personally experience ministries of compassion, justice, and evangelism in a cross-cultural setting. Short-term mission experiences not only bless others, but they are one of the most powerful catalysts for your own spiritual growth.
Our prayer is that a short-term mission experience will help you see the world through God’s eyes, experience authentic Christian community through relationships and experiences, contribute meaningfully, humbly and energetically to the team, integrate new learning into your faith and life back home, and understand your next steps to living out God’s calling on your life.
But don't just take our word for it; take a look at the video below to hear what some members of our MPPC family have to say about their recent experiences:
