Short answer: Mission Travel Faith Tours plans short-term mission trips for churches and non-profits. Our team handles air, accommodations, meals, ground transportation, and optional guided touring, so your group can focus on serving. You can go to a place where your church already has a relationship with a pastor or ministry, or choose one of our established mission locations, such as Rwanda, Tanzania, the Amazon region of Peru, or Honduras. Call 407-377-7912 to talk through your vision.
I have watched a lot of churches send teams overseas. The trips that bear fruit have three things in common. The team knows why it is going. The local partner is honored, not used. And the logistics are handled well enough that nobody spends the week worrying about the next bus. A mission trip is not a vacation with a work project attached, and it is not a project with a sightseeing day stapled on the end. It is discipleship in motion for the people who go, and it should be a blessing to the people who receive you.
Two ways to build your church mission trip
- Your own destination. If your church already supports a missionary, a sister church, or a non-profit, we build the trip around that relationship. You bring the partner and the vision; we handle the travel.
- A pre-arranged location. If you are starting fresh, choose one of our locations where we already work with local pastors and teams who are ready to receive a short-term group.
Current mission trip options
- Rwanda with a safari: serve in Nyamata, spend time in Kigali, and close with a safari.
- Tanzania with a safari: serve local communities, share your faith, experience the culture, and end with a safari.
- The Amazon, Iquitos, Peru: serve alongside local churches and travel the river to reach village communities.
- Honduras: a seven-day trip with VBS, sports ministry, outreach, and service, plus a day of rest at the hot springs and ziplining.
What sets a well-planned mission trip apart
We are tour operators first, and that is what makes the difference. Every mission trip we organize can include guided touring. Your team does not just fly in, work, and fly out. They see the country they served, learn its history, and come home understanding the people they met a little better. That understanding is what keeps a church praying and giving long after the team gets home.
A simple planning path for pastors and mission leaders
- Start with purpose, not place. Write one sentence on why your church is going and what the local partner has asked for.
- Set the team size and the season. Most church teams are easier to lead when someone has the job of tracking passports, forms, and payments.
- Call us early. Share your goals, dates, and budget. We design the itinerary around your team's gifts, whether that is construction, children's ministry, sports, medical support, or evangelism.
- Prepare the team spiritually. Meet for several weeks before departure to pray, study the passages you will teach, and learn about the culture you are entering.
- Plan the debrief. Schedule a Sunday report and a follow-up gathering. The trip is not finished until the church hears what God did.
Questions churches often ask
Can a youth group or Christian school go on a mission trip with you?
Yes. We plan trips for churches, youth ministries, schools, and non-profit organizations, and each itinerary is built around the group's age, skills, and goals.
Do you handle flights?
Yes. We assist with booking flights and coordinate airlines and routes for the whole group.
Can we combine service with a Bible lands tour?
Many churches serve one year and walk the Holy Land or the Footsteps of Paul the next. We plan both, and we can talk with you about a long-range travel plan for your congregation.
