Short-term mission experiences are those cross-cultural missionary assignments ranging from one week to one month. For many years, First Presbyterian Church has offered these mission opportunities that impact people in both their physical and spiritual lives.
Each year about 50 FPC members participate in summer mission trips.
So, why go on a mission trip?
- To better understand what life is like in other countries
- To better understand people and their universal needs
- To have more empathy for missionaries and the problems they face
- To have a greater appreciation for what you have at home
- To have a greater vision for missions
- For the advancement of the Kingdom of God
