International Mission Trips
Group Mission Trips offers international mission trips for all ages through our partner organization - Amoveo Group. Going on an international mission trip gives you a fresh perspective about the work God does in local communities throughout the world. With deeper insight, you'll return home transformed and more aware of the different cultures and misperceptions about where you're serving. You will be inspired to grow in your relationship with Jesus as you step out of regular routines and into another culture.
Amoveo Group is rooted in each country they serve. They have strong relationships with the locals and have a firm grasp of what the actual needs are in the community. When you arrive, you come alongside their ongoing efforts. This trusted, established partnership ensures your service is truly sustainable and leaves a lasting impact. Their local and abroad team carefully crafts the schedule and the entire experience so you can be fully present with your team.
As you disconnect from everyday pressures, you'll establish a familial community as you encounter new experiences together. You'll find a willingness to be present and engaged as you work hard and develop relationships with residents, community partners, and teammates.
Group Mission Trips does not operate these trips. We are simply connecting those who would like to serve internationally with trusted partner organizations that can safely and effectively run those trips.
