We will attend church services and visit the people in the village. We will build relationships, teach Vacation Bible school, lead Bible studies, build homes with Mission Housing Ministries, and visit shut-ins of the community..
Below is a general schedule of planned activities. As anyone who has been on a mission trip before knows, sometimes God opens up opportunities to do things that we didn’t originally plan to do.
Your team will stay at Mission Housing Ministries which is set up like a boarding house with shared bathrooms down the hall.
Juana and Esperanza clean and cook for our teams. Learning from years of experience, there are particular cleaning and food preparation processes that help keep teams healthy and strong for ministry. The meals are always good and have an authentic local flair.
The following are necessary to be addressed or completed before you can participate.
All applicants must regularly attend Sunday services. Applications from other churches or denominations will be accepted, but priority is given to members of The Bayou Church.
Each mission team meets six-seven times before departure to learn about the mission area’s culture, plan trip activities, and bond as a team. Additionally, each team has a pre-departure dinner for family members as a celebration.
All attendees make three payments: initial deposit, airline payment, and final payment. Amounts and deadlines will be shared at the first team meeting.
Participation in First Steps is strongly encouraged but not required. First Steps is a two-part class starts with Step One every Sunday at 9:30am in the First Steps Room. Participants will learn more about who we are, what we believe, and how we live that out together.
