Steps for planning a team missions trip

Check List for Planning a Team Mission Trip:

___ Pray about if, when, and where to go.

  • The “where” is often determined by your personal or organizational contacts. If you don’t have contacts, check with a church missions board, a missions organization (Like YWAM, Teen Mania, Real Impact, ASELSI,  or someone who has gone on a team previously.)
  • Consider what kind of missions trip you would like to plan: evangelistic, construction, children’s ministry, medical, or a mix of several of these, etc. How many people would you want to have on the trip. I recommend starting with a smaller group of 8 to 15 and getting the hang of it before doing larger groups. Check with the hosting missionaries. They may have suggestions regarding team size.

___ Contact your church missions board or pastor to share your heart.
