What the Mission Trip Will Be Like
Individual Short-term Mission Trips:
This short-term missions trip is 2 weeks and can be extended by 1 or 2 weeks for a longer experience. Volunteers are welcome to come as individuals and join our weekly outreach programs and work in areas of praise and worship, skits and drama, games, sports outreach and crafts and sharing the love of Christ with the most vulnerable youth of Uganda. Volunteers also work in a project of their choice. Many people come volunteer with babies’ or work alongside children in our preschool, join a sports ministry outreach to village children and youth, teach in a school for orphans and vulnerable children, teach in a school for children with disabilities, or work in a medical clinic.

Group Short-term Mission Trips:
Churches, youth groups, and small groups are welcome to partner with us in short-term mission trips. These mission trips are usually about two weeks. The team can participate in a free medical camp for the village, train teachers in our primary school, train pastors and youth leaders or participate in youth ministry, and help to build a project that will create self-sustainability and economic empowerment for a family of orphans or the entire village. The trip would end with a three-day safari in one of Uganda’s national parks.
Safaris are conducted by View Africa Tour Specialists, a safari company set up to give back. A portion of all profits on these safaris goes back to support the work of Empower a Child. See them at www.viewafricasafari.com.
Note: If you are an individual interested in joining a group short-term mission trip we hold two mission trips each summer where individuals join together from different parts of America and the UK for two weeks in Africa. Even if your church cannot come for a mission trip you may still participate in a group trip.
