2025 Trips

Southwest USA

Teams will be involved with some children’s and adult ministry opportunities and some types of work projects ranging from simple maintenance, painting, and possible construction opportunities. There is room on teams for various levels of experience from beginner to expert. Ministry, relationship building, partnering with the Global Reach field, and growing closer to God are all goals of these trips.

Since then, four churches have been established in Hato Mayor and Mango Limpio, and Pastors Fremio & Evelin Jimenez were appointed as field directors to oversee ministry growth and church planting.
