College Mission Trips

Expand your faith, serve together.

View Available Dates

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!

Children's Ministry

Minister to children through leading kids' clubs, Vacation Bible School, puppet shows, crafts, Bible stories, sports, skits, and games.

Service Projects

Provide tangible support through your work on various projects from painting, roofing, cement work, tiling, or whatever projects your local partner identifies in the community.

Church Ministry

Worship alongside a local church and participate by providing special music, sermons, testimonies, or help lead Sunday School.

Sports Ministry

Use sports such as soccer, basketball, Frisbee, volleyball, or any large-group game as a platform for building relationships and sharing the gospel.

School Ministry

During the school year, your team could minister at local schools by leading devotions, tutoring students, observing classes, or participating in recess.

Mercy Ministry

Be the hands and feet of Christ as you visit and minister to those that others may have forgotten in orphanages, hospitals, prisons, and senior centers.

Evangelism

Assist the local church in outreach by handing out Bibles, street evangelism, door-to-door visits, or sharing the gospel through community movie nights.

Youth Ministry

Connect directly with youth in the community by leading a youth rally, fellowship night, or worship.

Adult Ministry

Lead parenting classes, Bible studies, or leadership training. One of our Belizean pastors shared that when you minister to adults, you are ministering to entire families and communities.

If your group has specialized medical or dental training, your skills can be of great help in many of our ministry locations. (Note: Due to government regulations, medical ministry is not available everywhere. Please call 888-PPM-4090 to find out more!)
