Mission Trip Resources
A library of mission trip resources at your fingertips.
In the spirit of fostering good mission trip experiences everywhere, we have compiled this library of resources and are making them available for anyone to use. We believe that healthy mission trips don't happen by accident, and desire for anyone going on a mission trip to have all the training and resources possible to help make their mission trip the best it can be.
We've made it easy to download a PDF copy of each of these resources individually—just look for the download button at the bottom of the resource you're reading. We've also packaged the entire library into a single resource that can be downloaded and sent to your email address. We encourage you to download these materials, share them with your team, and use them as a part of your mission trip preparations.
