Short-Term Mission Designed Your Way

Picture yourself stepping off a plane into an unfamiliar place. Vibrant colors, unfamiliar sounds and smells, and new experiences await–your heart leaps at the excitement that God has for you over the next week or month. While it can feel scary, you are curious about how God might use you in this new place.

This is the essence of a short-term mission trip—a gateway to witnessing God’s work in action across the globe or even in your own community. The reality is, you can partner with a lot of mission organizations to experience a short-term trip, but finding one that fits your schedule, your group size, your timing, etc. can be tricky. That’s where a customized experience comes in. 

RCA Global Mission has the history—over 375 years!—and relationships to connect you to trusted partners in over 45 countries globally but also the nimbleness to be able to meet your specific short-term mission experience desires and needs. When you reach out to us, you won’t get a bot or a standard list of programs to plug into. Instead, you will get personal connection, care, and access to our trusted list of partners. Whether you’re a leader planning a spring break trip with your youth group, an individual looking for a gap-year experience, or a retiree wanting to serve for a few months while you’re traveling, we’re here to help. 

Let us do the heavy lifting for your next mission experience so you can focus on what God is calling you to.
