Inquire about the trip

From the National Tropical Rain Forest of El Yunque to the ancient streets of San Juan Puerto Rico is known to be a wonderful tourist destination and to have a relaxed Caribbean culture. However, life on this island is not what you see in the travel magazines.Nearly half of the population in this beautiful island lives below the poverty line and struggles to find jobs. Your team will partner with a local church that's dedicated to bringing the love of Jesus to their community.

What the Mission Trip Will Be Like

Ministry
Work Projects: Your team may have the opportunity to help local churches or families with cleaning, landscaping, painting, or other light manual labor. There is a wide range of economic status in PR- you may be working with any of them.
Community Outreach: Your team may have the opportunity to visit local homes of some members of the local church and some that are not members of the local church. The pastor will guide your team to which families may be in the most need. Your team will be able to pray for the believers and give them hope in Jesus and share the gospel with those that do not know Jesus.
Children's Ministry: Teams may be able to facilitate some children’s ministry, spending time with them and sharing Jesus with them. These opportunities will depend on your location, the churchs’ needs, and the time of year in which you go.
Sports Ministry: Like children’s ministry, these opportunities will depend on your location, the churchs’ needs, and the time of year in which you go. Basketball and baseball are always the best for engagement.
Solar Lamp or Uzima Water Filter Distribution: Our organization partners with several companies that allow us to purchase solar lamps and water filters at discounted rates. If your team is interested in purchasing some and distributing them during your trip, this would be a great opportunity to not only meet a basic need but also share the Gospel.
Police and Fire Station or Government Office Visits: Teams could have the chance to visit local police and fire stations to pray for the men and women serving the areas. This is a great way to engage with them, encourage them, share your faith with them, and provide them with a special treat as well!
Evangelism: Teams may be able to visit local businesses and share the Gospel with the locals. Places like Walmart tend to have people who are open for prayer and conversation. 
Homeless Shelter Outreach: Depending on the location of your trip, you may have the opportunity to visit a local homeless shelter and serve the staff. There could be a special project your team could help with, but you also may be able to pray and engage with the residents. 
Prayer Walking: Serve alongside a local church and reach out to their community with them. Discover the power of prayer and learn more about God's heart as you pray. 
Please come with flexibility as ministry schedules may change due to unforeseen circumstances.

Lodging
Your team will stay at one of our partner churches where you will have access to bathrooms and showers. Depending on your location and the host church, beds may be provided or you may have to bring air mattresses or camping pads. There also may or may not be air conditioning.

Travel
Your team will fly into San Juan and drive to the ministry site from there. All ground transportation will need to be arranged by your team. We can provide recommendations for rental companies if needed.

Relation of Opportunity to National Church and/or Long-term Goals

It is our privilege to join the local churches who practice community evangelism and the establishment of new churches by loving and helping neighbors, and sharing the Gospel of hope, purpose, and truth with them. We learn so much from them, and share great joy in the experience!

Training debriefing
Once you commit and get connected with your mission coordinator, they will walk you through Pre-Trip Training WHY DO WE GO ON MISSION TRIPS? To learn how to reach people for Jesus! We practice what we learn while preparing and being on the mission trip. We then continue to do these things back home, to reach people there. Jesus wants people to spend eternity with Him. We get to participate in that. This trip will train and transform you. Time spent at the feet of Jesus results in ministry. True ministry comes from the overflow of time spent with Jesus and the leading of the Holy Spirit. It’s vital that we spend time in the presence of God! Adventures in Missions 5 Objectives: 1) Listening in Prayer You will have the opportunity to hear and discern God’s voice through prayer and scripture, and then obey the direction God gave! Everyone will have opportunity to be sensitive to the Spirit’s specific leading in personal ministry during the trip. John 10:27 “My sheep hear my voice, and I know them, and they follow Me.” 2) Make a Meaningful Relationship Led by the Holy Spirit, you will be able to build a meaningful relationship through ministry with your host, teammates, and locals within the community. Seeking out that person each day, will demonstrate the love of Jesus. John 15:12-15 “My command is this: Love each other as I have loved you. Greater love has no one than this: to lay down one’s life for one’s friends. You are my friends if you do what I command. I no longer call you servants, because a servant does not know his master’s business. Instead, I have called you friends, for everything that I learned from my Father I have made known to you.” 3) Meet a Felt Need You will be able to respond to God’s specific direction to meet a local person’s practical need! This could be prayer, making a meal, giving out a hygiene kit, or perhaps a very specific answer to a prompting by the Holy Spirit during a prayer walk, for example. Matthew 25:40 “The King will reply, 'Truly I tell you, whatever you did for one of the least of these brothers and sisters of mine, you did for me.'” 4) Share Your Faith You will share the Good News, which is more than a Gospel presentation, or rehearsed testimony, it’s your life! You will listen in prayer to know whom to share with, what to share, and how to share it. This could include a formal Gospel presentation or personal testimony. Luke 4:18-19 “The Spirit of the Lord is on me, because he has anointed me to proclaim good news to the poor. He has sent me to proclaim freedom for the prisoners and recovery of sight for the blind, to set the oppressed free, to proclaim the year of the Lord’s favor.” 5) Debrief & Respond Assisted by the Mission Leader, you will learn to identify and share (debrief) what God has done each day. Everyone will have the opportunity to respond to God in gratitude, praise, and worship. At the end of the trip, you will have a final debrief to highlight key takeaways from your trip! Hebrews 10:24-25 “And let us consider how we may spur one another on toward love and good deeds, not giving up meeting together, as some are in the habit of doing, but encouraging one another—and all the more as you see the Day approaching.”

Mission Trip Offered By Adventures in Missions

You want to follow Jesus’s example in the way He cared for the lost and the hurting. You want to take up Jesus’s commission to make disciples of all nations (Matthew 28) and be His witness to the ends of the earth (Acts 1).

Adventures in Missions is an interdenominational missions organization that focuses on discipleship. We emphasize prayer and relationships in our work around the world. We seek to disciple as Jesus did; our vision is that God would use us to raise up a generation of radically committed disciples of Jesus Christ.

Since we were established in 1989, we have taken over 115,000 people into the mission field, some for as short as a week and others for as long as a year or longer. We minister year-round through our ministry bases and strategic ministry partnerships. We believe that by giving people the opportunity to step outside their comfort zones and join what God is doing in other cultures and nations, lives are transformed.
