Trips

Jesus said, “As the Father has sent me, so I send you” (John 20:21). Throughout this year and next you will have incredible opportunities to join God on mission among the nations. There are several ways to participate with us. You can help make others aware of the opportunities to serve; you can support those who are going through prayer or financially; or you can apply to go with one of the teams.

Teams that go will participate in several types of ministry: education, evangelism, medical, exposure, and construction. No matter which role you participate in, our ultimate goal is to develop disciples of Jesus Christ who share His heart and vision for the entire world.

For answers to your questions about our trips, check out our Frequently Asked Questions below. If you have additional questions, please email makedisciples@austinstone.org

Trip Commitments

Trip Commitments:

Our desire is to be good stewards, financially and spiritually, of the resources that God has given us. We also strive to prepare our teams to show the unity in Christ and a heart of service to those we will meet.

To help us achieve this, we ask each team member to commit to:

  • Actively participate in providing the funds for your trip, either through personal means or fundraising activities. If the full amount of funds is not raised before the trip, the team member agrees to pay the remaining balance within 30 days of returning from the trip
  • Attend the first training meeting and attend at least 80% of subsequent training meetings and debrief sessions
  • Submit to the authority of the team leader(s), to serve with a spirit of humility, and to strive for biblical unity with your team and our national partners.
  • Consistently seek to abide in Christ through daily time in the scriptures and prayer leading up to, during, and after the trip

If you have any questions about these requirements, please email us: makedisciples@austinstone.org

We'll spend a lot of time with these students—practicing the little Arabic we are learning and helping them with their English—all the while building relationships, making friends, and sharing with them about our relationship with God through Jesus. Click here for more information.
