What the Mission Trip Will Be Like
Family Short-term Mission Trips:
Short-term missions trips range from 1 weeks to 2 months. Families 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. Families also work in a project of their choice. Many volunteers enjoy working with babies’ or serve alongside children in our preschool, join a sports ministry outreach to village children and youth, teach or tutor in a school for orphans and vulnerable children, or serve in a medical clinic.
