Fellowship Church sends out short-term mission trips annually to our foreign mission partnership locations. Focusing on these locations doesn’t mean we aren’t excited about our members going to other places for mission trips or giving financially to other projects. It does mean we ask our members to consider one of these places their first option. It also means that we will ask all members to join in making these projects part of their heart in following God and reaching the nations for Him.
Short-term mission trips at Fellowship Church are not just trips, they are part of our comprehensive mission plan.
You can read stories from some of last year's trip participants in our 2010 Fellowship Church Missions Update Newsletter, The Harvest.
2012 Short-Term Mission Trips*
Monterrey, Mexico >> January 6-15, 2012
Estimated Cost $1200 - $1400
Our team will continue what we began in May 2006--working alongside the church planting team to reach university students, professionals and certain neighborhoods. All students at the prestigious Tec de Monterrey already speak English, and so do many at the state Univ. of Nuevo Leon, but they like to practice with Americans—a perfect opportunity for the Gospel. We partner to reach these students and hold English Conversation Classes.
Nigeria, Africa >> Dates TBA
This trip is a partnership with HELP West Africa and will allow participants two choices of ministry. The first is minstering to orphan boys at the CARE center (orphange). The second is serving in the bush ministry reaching out to the Fulani, an unreached Muslim people group. People on the bush track can also serve at the Good Shepherd Nursery/Primary School for the Fulani.
