London Mission Trip
2023 London Mission Trip
June 16th to 23rd-2023
I wanted to get this info out to all of you as soon as possible so if you are feeling led to participate, you could start making prayer and financial preparations. (If you don’t already have a passport, apply for one now! They are taking as long as 3 months to acquire.)
The Vision trip to London was an enlightening experience. We were able to visit four potential mission sites. Out of those mission sites we spent some time thinking and praying through which one would be a good fit for our Network. We chose the site based on the need at the ministry site, our ability to fulfill that need and the practicality of the logistics. The ministry we chose to affiliate with is a church called Trinity that is planting a new church in an area within London city limits called Shepherds Bush.
This trip will be open to anyone who has finished 11 th grade in 2023 and up. It will require walking as much as 7-8 miles a day. Team size will be 10-12 persons.
Cost will be approximately $1800 - $2000 depending on airlines and accommodations at the time of Registration.
