Namibia Missions Trip

This is one of those simple questions that comes with any missions trip, however the answer may not be as simple as the question. Typical short term missions trips bring their own agenda which they aim to accomplish during their stay so they can return and show their supporters how much return was gained from their investment. This task-oriented mission does not always take into account the unique gifts and skills God has given team members nor the goals and vision of the long-term ministries we will be involved with. That said, our goals will be relationship-oriented with the purpose of encouraging and supporting the long-term missionaries who are already well established and will continue ministering after we leave.

Each team members specific day-to-day tasks may look very different depending on what gifts and skills you bring to the table. For example, those with teaching experience may be involved in the classroom as teaching assistants or help with tutoring after school. Those who have skills in dance, music, soccer, or drama may be involved with after-school programs or workshops. Others may participate in Bible studies, community outreach programs, youth group activities, and more. But most importantly, all of us will have the opportunity to share God's love in a practical way with the poor, the fatherless, and the widowed. We will be able to encourage and support those long-term missionaries who have faithfully dedicated their lives to serving God's people in Namibia. And through us giving of ourselves, you will be encouraged and grow in more ways than you realize.
