Serve overseas.
Haven of Hope leads short-term mission trips to Zambia and Uganda twice a year. These trips focus on ministering to the students in our partner schools and may include opportunities to serve community members or teach local church leaders. They are also an opportunity to build relationships with the children and adults in the communities we serve, encouraging and loving them in Jesus's name. In this way, trips are as much about "being" as "doing." Through relationship, we seek to demonstrate and share the Gospel of Jesus Christ.
Trips are open to everyone, whether you are an individual, family, or group. Do you sponsor a child or a teacher? Join a trip to their country and meet them in person. Are you a pastor with a heart to train church leaders, or do you have another talent or skill that you'd like to use to bless others? Please contact us. We plan trip activities not only around the needs of those we serve, but also around the knowledge, talents, and resources of our team members. Go—and expect to be blessed, challenged, and changed. We believe that every trip is an opportunity for God to work in us, as well as through us. We seek to serve with open minds and hearts, ready to learn from those around us and listen and respond to the voice of the Holy Spirit. Please take some time to ask the Lord whether He is leading you to join our next trip. We would love to have you with us! |
