A mission trip provides an opportunity to learn how God is at work with people of different cultures and circumstances. Expect your perception of the world to be dramatically altered and broadened. As well, expect your faith to be deepened.

As Christians, we step out in faith when we travel to new communities or countries that do not resemble our own. We go to share the Gospel of Jesus Christ and to celebrate the ways that God’s love changes lives and communities. You will find that you receive much more than you give.

God’s love is borderless. It transcends all language, social, cultural and economic barriers. An experience with brothers and sisters in need will be profoundly affecting.

"If one member suffers, all suffer together with it." -- I Corinthians 12:26

"Go into all the world." -- John 15:16

How to Help Mission Trips at FAPC

You are encouraged to become involved in this essential work of the church by:

- going on a mission trip, or contributing money to enable someone else to go;

- supporting FAPC benevolence funds for mission projects;

- learning about the communities and countries where the PC(USA) or its sister churches have a presence. Meeting social and material need is often a most effective means of presenting the Gospel in action, especially in impoverished areas. Many FAPC members have international ties and may be in a position to wield influence, however small, which enhances the well-being of people;

- talking to those who have been on mission trips to learn of local needs. You may be the link to important resources – expertise on community water systems in Madagascar, product development and small business management for the Human Development Trust in India, licensed plumbers and electricians for rebuilding Gulf Coast communities;

- or, praying for our church’s missions.

Members and friends of all ages, ability and experience can lend a hand. If you are interested in participating in an upcoming project, want to request an application form, or can suggest other possible mission trip projects, please contact Ruth Nelson at This e-mail address is being protected from spambots.
