When thinking about mission trips, don’t get caught in the short-sited thinking of just planning a trip. Start with your heart to disciple your students in missional living that lasts a lifetime. Add to that your desire to serve and submit to the host church or ministry and consider the standards of excellence.

When thinking about mission trips, don’t get caught intheshort-sighted thinking of just planning a trip
As you ponder the trip being one aspect of discipleship, consider these things:
A Progression How can your students plug into the existing community outreach of your church or help advance it?
A Rhythm You might consider a very local mission trip for your students in middle school, then a regional one for grades 9 and 10 and a longer distance trip for your older students Youth Unlimited has some SERVE locations that include cross-cultural learning
Your Teaching Our mission trip and service projects are like fence posts
