CONSIDERATIONS FOR YOUR MISSIONS TRIP

DETERMINE THAT YOU WILL GO

The most difficult part of planning your missions trip is committing yourself and your team to definitely go. This resolve to go will be tested and tried. Certainly, obstacles will come up. You will experience the challenges that come as a result of surrendering to go. Meet these challenges with fervent prayer and deliberate spiritual preparation.

DETERMINE WHERE YOU WILL GO

CIM facilitates trips in over 30 foreign countries and dozens of destinations within the USA. Reach out to CIM and we will be happy to help you work through considerations about where you and your team may minister to the greatest extent.

DETERMINE WHEN YOU ARE GOING

CIM is actively engaged in conducting trips year round. We accommodate the time frame and window of opportunity that fits you and your church's needs. Often, Christian school and church groups desire for their teens to experience missions, so summer trips are very popular. Accordingly, summer time books quickly, so be sure to contact us soon.

DETERMINE WHAT YOU WILL BE DOING

Each team prepares some ministry or project that can be used as part of a program. You should think about what kind of gifts and abilities that your team can bring to the field. Below are just a few examples:

• Children's VBS
• Visit an Orphanage
• Evangelistic Outreach
• Light construction & painting
  

• Sports Ministry
  
• Bible Conference
  
• Resources Distribution
  

DETERMINE TO PREPARE

In order to be truly effective as a missions team, you must determine to prepare your plan, your fellow-workers, your ministry, and especially your own heart before the Lord. The planning process can be as spiritually productive as the trip itself if you prepare well.

• Set up a 1st Initial Informational Meeting. This meeting will help share general information about various missions opportunities, give an overview what a mission trip looks like, and allow a time to field questions from prospective missions team members in your church or Christian school.
  

• Set up a 2nd Commitment Meeting. This meeting will be for those who are seriously interested and committing themselves to participate in preparations (i.e. support-raising, team-building, ministry-planning, etc.). They will need to sign up and begin the process of submitting information to CIM to secure their travel reservations and accommodations on the field.
  

• A 3rd and 4th Meeting. These meetings are held within a 9 month period to share logistics, fine-tune the missions trip, and make final preparations for the team.

CIM has led hundreds of short term mission trips involving thousands of people.  Groups who go with CIM ask for 2nd, 3rd, and multiple more trips!  Souls have been saved, churches started, and lives within the mission teams revolutionized!
