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
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
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
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.
