What the Mission Trip Will Be Like

MINISTRY OPPORTUNITIES

You will come alongside the local church in the ministry they have established to reach the community with the love of Jesus in impactful and relational ways. Here are some ways you might serve in Fairbanks: 

  • Homeless Ministry: Fairbanks has a significant homeless population. You’ll partner with the church in providing hot meals and prayer for the homeless. The homeless shelter also looks for helping hands in work projects, leading chapel, serving meals, and enjoying meals with their “guests”. 
  • Community Outreach: Teams may engage the community of Fairbanks in a car wash or cookout. The team may go to a nearby park, prepare food, and facilitate games as a way to build and encourage relationships in the community.
  • Food Pantry: The food pantry collects and distributes food from the community and provides it to families in need all over Alaska. They sort through the food, repack the food, and distribute it either to the individuals or to partner agencies. They are also in need of help to do work projects to keep the pantry up and running in a safe and efficient manner.
  • Prayer Ministry: Saturate the community in prayer and help reinforce the spiritual groundwork already being done. Prayer is powerful and effective. We encourage all of our teams to spend time in the ministry of prayer.

LODGING

There are separate areas for men and women. You’ll be sleeping on the church floor, so bring your mats and sleep gear! These rooms will be used during the week for ministry, so each day that group will need to tidy up and move their belongings. Men and women will have their own bathroom with shower stalls in each. In order to maintain effectiveness, a shower schedule will help manage the needs of the whole group! This is definitely the type of lodging where there is space, however, we ask that you respect the property and steward it like it were your own.

Hotel rooms are also an option and we would be glad to arrange that for you if you prefer.

TRANSPORTATION

Your group will fly into Fairbanks International Airport (FAI) in Fairbanks, Alaska. This is a big airport with many different options for rental vehicles in the area. Groups will be required to supply their own local transportation (bus, vans or otherwise) to and from ministry each day. The cost of transportation is not included in the trip.

MEALS

There is a full kitchen with anything you might need. Meals are very much a team effort, and we have a lot of fun in the process! Teams will participate in meal prep and serving. Breakfast will be cold cereal, fruit, bagels, etc. Hot breakfasts could be available as well, depending on the group’s willingness to contribute to the meal prep and cooking. Lunch will be packed sandwiches, fruit and a side to take to the ministry site. Hot dinners will typically be served after ministry at the church each day or alongside the ministry events.

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.”
