Events From: LCMS Servant Events

MISSION EDUCATION TEAMS

November 2-9, 2024 -- Belize Flexible dates in 2025 -- Belize Flexible dates in 2025 -- Dominican Republic

Experience and participate in the Lutheran Mission taking place in various countries in Latin America as you Spread the Gospel, Plant Lutheran Churches, and Show Mercy alongside missionaries and local leaders. We will strive to match your team members’ vocational skills and interests with different aspects of our work in that country. These are great opportunities for a congregation who wants to send a team! The November Belize trip is also an excellent opportunity for individuals who want to serve.

2025 MISSIONARY KID PROGRAM TEAMS

April 9-14, 2025 -- Kenya

You will work with your team to prepare and lead a Vacation Bible School for missionary kids, ranging in age from infants to teens. We will provide a curriculum for you to use as a framework. There are also evening babysitting opportunities during 1-on-1 meetings and kid-free “date nights.” This is a great opportunity for a congregation or campus ministry who wants to send a team! It is also an excellent opportunity for individuals who want to serve.

CHILDREN'S MINISTRY TEAM

Flexible dates -- Panama

Your team will work with the Lutheran mission in Panama to help with children's ministry. You might plan and lead a Vacation Bible School; visit a local public school; provide Bible and English lesson support for the church’s after-school program; or put on a weeklong sports camp/VBS for youth ages ~12-16. (Note: e-sports are also popular, so PlayStation games are also a possibility.) This is a great opportunity for a congregation or campus ministry who wants to send a team.

SHADOW A MISSIONARY

Flexible dates -- Flexible countries

If you are interested in long-term missionary service, spend a week or more walking alongside a missionary in their daily life. Join them in all of their activities- work, home, social- as you use the resources provided to help frame your thinking and prayerfully discern whether God might be calling you to serve in a similar fashion. This is a great opportunity for individuals to explore career missionary service.

We are truly looking forward to our servant event SERV’N IN THE HILLS scheduled for June 1-6, 2025.  We sincerely hope that you will be able to join us for this exciting event.

Servant Events are to “provide unique opportunities for spiritual, emotional, physical and intellectual growth in a work setting” and to “provide participants with different cultural experiences.”  At our SERV’N IN THE HILLS, we hope to accomplish these objectives in a number of ways.

Worship, Bible Study, singing, work, reflection and community building will be important components of SERV’N IN THE HILLS.  We will use these components to relate experiences of service to daily life and faith.

We can only accept the first 80 participants so we encourage you to register early.  A $50 deposit is required for each person registering.

SERV’N IN THE HILLS Servant Event welcomes participants ages 13-18.  Group sizes are normally 4-6 although larger are welcome.  We need to have one adult leader for every 4-6 participants, representing males and females.

Adult leaders are an integral part of the servant event.  They should be expected to use their leadership skills during this exciting week. 

If you would like to become part of this unique and exciting program, request registration forms!  For further information, call Ruth at (573)237-2072 or email camptrinity73@yahoo.com .  Reservations are accepted on first-come first-serve basis, so return your reservation as soon as possible to assure yourself and your group a spot in this program.
