College Mission Trips
Expand your faith, serve together.
When it comes to college mission trips, students are looking for opportunities to make a real impact in the communities they serve. At Praying Pelican, we believe there is no better way to do that than by following the three pillars our trips are built on: genuine partnerships, long term relationships, and sustainable ministry.
We start by partnering your college students with a local church and submitting to that church's leadership. By starting there, you can be assured the work done during the week matches the real needs in that community. Ministry done in accordance with local leadership means that sustainability is within reach, with the local church being empowered to continue the ministry once your team returns home.
Due to the wide variety of partnerships we have across the US and internationally, we can also offer some real-life applications of what students are learning in the classroom on their college mission trip. Feel free to be creative, and we can design a trip around applying academic disciplines to impact the Kingdom in specific and tangible ways.
We see great value thinking in the long-term, and encourage our teams to return year after year to deepen the relationships formed during that first mission trip. Contact us today to connect with one of our missions consultants and begin planning the mission trip of a lifetime for your college students!
