    I've been to NYC, L.A. (both were inner-city and homeless ministry), and post-Katrina MS Gulf Coast. I now want to become a long-term missionary to Japan in the next few years.

    I've been on a couple. One wasn't through a church so technically I call it a "service" trip, but we went to Thailand to build an emergency shelter for tsunami relief.


    I also spent 2 weeks in Kyrgyzstan last fall teaching English at a christian school and working at an orphanage.


    My future plans involve a year-long "mission trip". Hopefully I learn the details soon enough. :)

    I just got back from six weeks in South Africa... I've been to Costa Rica and to Mexico several times... I plan to go to China next summer, and once I've got my teaching credential, to teach overseas for the rest of my life.

    I have never been on one. I would love to, someday. I may go to Vidor, Texas with the other college students at my church to help build homes and such (there's still a bit of damage there from Hurricane Rita, which hit just weeks after Katrina). It'd be a short, 2-day, mini-mission trip, but I think I might like to go and if I can, I probably will!

    Last year my church and I went to Dallas/Houston, TX for inner-city missions and the year before we went to Juarez, Mexico. Both were through Youth With A Mission.

    I'm actually leaving on my third mission trip this Saturday.  They've all been through Catholic Heart Work Camp.  I went to St. Louis, Greensboro, PA, and I leave for Memphis soon.

    Two of my friends just got back from a two week mission trip to Peru also. 

    Gotta stay busy.  :)

    Went to the far east for STMT and surveyed what our brothers and sisters are doing over there...

    My first mission trip, i went to Tijuana, Mexico with 2 other girls and 12 guys. haha. that was fun. We went with YWAM and worked with kids for Vacation Bible School.

    Our second missions trip was a hot one to Trinidad. It was a little over 30 students in total living in one house. The family that hosted us made a makeshift bedroom out of every room they could put a cot or a mattress in. We just worked with the local churches and went back and forth in these really tight vans.

    Actually, lauralen's idea of a one year mission trip sounds appealing...

    First to Fiji to help teach and equip children's ministry workers.

    Second to Uluru in Central Australia.

    Would love love love to go to Thailand next.

    i have never been on a missions trip! last summer God called me into missions though, and He told me to go to Ireland! so ireland is where i'm headed, but it would be great to go anywhere in europe.
  • FireProof451@xanga

    Sydney Australia and Auckland New Zealand with Global Expeditions.


    Wanted to go with my church last week to Mexico but that didn't work out

    I have gone to Haiti twice on my own and Brasil once with Teen Missions International.

    I think everyone should try to go somewhere at least once. It's amazing, life changing, and God affirming.

    Just came back from mexico!

    Even though I'm an atheist, I was invited once to do humanitarian work, independent of religious teachings.  I was going to go, except I had a summer program instead, which was much more important to me.
  • Pickwick12@xanga

    I have been to Juarez, Mexico twice, Merida, Venezuela, and all over California on missions trips. They have all been some of the most amazing times of my life. Interestingly, I noticed the most spiritual warfare in California. Satan did not like having his territory challenged.

    I am very grateful that my parents encouraged me to go on missions trips and never discouraged me by saying I couldn't raise the money. God always provided.

    I hope to do more trips in the future and also to some day be involved in longer-term missions work in Denmark
  • Pickwick12@xanga

    @la_faerie_joyeuse@xanga - I've seen a lot of your comments. Just wanted to say that I think it's awesome that, as an atheist, you comment on revelife posts. Thanks for being cordial.
  • a_defiantbeauty_2@xanga

    I have been to Taiwan/Hong Kong, Lebanon (Beirut, Tripoli, Baalbek), Turkey (Ankara, Istanbul), and Prague.
  • docsfancyskip@xanga

    No...but I would love to! Money has always been a HUGE issue for me...until then, I'm focusing on my hometown, and helping who I can!!!
  • Sehsun@xanga

    I went to Belize two years in a row. It was really neat. One of my friend's family used to actually live there.

    I would be interested in doing short-term missions in the U.S. someday. If I could pick anywhere to go, my top choice currently would be to help out at Mercy Ministries.
  • BHuggins1020@xanga

    hey everyone, I've been on two mission "excursions."  I say that because my first was a trip to Trinidad, and the other was a 6 week urban mission's stint in Philadelphia, PA.  I go to school in Philly, so it was more of an excursion :-p
  • mamamiya@xanga

    China, Mexico, LA. Wherever I live is my mission field.
  • Ambroski_007@xanga

    I actually just got back from a missions trip in Russia! I've been on two before this one in Cairo, Illinois and in Colorado. All three have been amazing and I learned so much from them. It is such a blessing that we are able to do these types of trips whereas in Russia, they're just trying to plant churches. We are so blessed in America.
  • Be_A_Revolution@xanga

    I went to Venezuela 9 years ago with Teen Mania/Global Expeditions. I went to Orlando with my youth group probably 7 or 8 years ago.

    I haven't been on any recently, but I am hoping in the next couple of summers to go to either Nicaragua or Bolivia or both or somewhere else. Haha!
  • iknowHimdou@xanga

    I've been to Chile twice and the Dominican Republic once. I hope to possibly go to Bolivia next summer.

  • annihilate__me@xanga

    I'm not involved in a church at this particular moment. Right now, I'm hoping to develope my faith and my beliefs as I work closer with God.


    Though I'm not a firm believer that you should pressure others in to changing their personal beliefs. I'm hoping that maybe I'll have the oppurtunity to go on a mission trip to experience all the things that there are to.
