And he said to them, “Go into all the world and proclaim the gospel to the whole creation.” - Mark 16:15

GoTEN has multiple exciting trips planned to visit both familiar and new locations in 2025! These trips will deepen your understanding of cross-cultural ministry while also providing lasting encouragement to those in need. Still need convincing? Here are three reasons you should consider taking a short term mission trip with GoTEN in 2025:

Be His Hands and Feet

One of the primary reasons for going on a mission trip is to share the love of Christ with others. Whether you're serving in a remote village or a bustling city, you have the opportunity to bring hope and faith to those who may not have encountered it before. Our trips offer journeys to both remote and urban mission fields, and some trips even involve a combination of both. Since unreached people groups are much of the ‘why' behind the passionate work that we do, our trips share a similar focus. You will have the opportunity, whether on a trip to Phoenix or abroad, to connect, communicate with and potentially disciple people that literally may never have heard Jesus’ name. What an opportunity to sew seeds of hope and Truth! 

Cultural Exchange

Mission trips allow you to immerse yourself in a different culture and gain a deeper understanding of the global community. Building relationships with people from different backgrounds can broaden your perspective and deepen your empathy for others. This experience is especially helpful in one’s prayer life. Gaining a deep knowledge of obscure people groups through personal interaction can drastically enhance one’s desire to pray for the nations, and their ability to pray intentionally and specifically. Prayers always feel more personal when names and faces are attached. Take a trip and experience an entirely new place that needs your prayer!

Support Long Term Workers

A trip abroad also generally offers the opportunity to visit and support local workers that spend each day in the field. Cross cultural ministry can be tiring work, especially when done among people groups that are entirely unreached. Likeminded visitors can provide much needed encouragement to workers as they go alongside them on home visits, worship, fellowship and pray together. Taking a short term trip will not only provide the opportunity to serve the unreached and those in need, but also provides the opportunity to bless God’s global workers.
