Family Mission Trips

Last summer we ran Multi-generational Trips in eleven communities! Due to the overwhelming response, we have created more opportunities for families to serve in 2010.

These multi-generational trips are tailored to the needs and capabilities of groups from all ages; and will provide meaningful service opportunities as well as cultural and recreational opportunities for every generation to enjoy.

This 4-night (Sunday evening – Thurs morning) experience is an excellent way for your church to invite people of all ages to serve, learn and grow together.

2010: Multi-generational Mission Trips will be available the weeks of July 25 and August 1 for $228 US and CN at the following communities:
