Whether you are going on a mission trip for the first time or the thirtieth, training together as a team for your trip is essential. We feel strongly that the readings, exercises and spiritual disciplines in this mission trip training will enhance your experience on the trip as well as the impact you will have on those you are serving. Your team will interact with each other as you work through the training, and you will discuss it together at your mission trip orientation as well. It is worth the investment of your time.
