"As the Father has sent me, so I send you." John 20:21

As followers of Christ we are called by God and empowered by the Holy Spirit to serve a lost and hurting world. RCA Short-Term Mission wants you to engage personally in God’s mission through meaningful mission trip opportunities. We believe that as people serve in the name of Christ, whether in their local community or around the world, the impact of that service will change lives—the lives of those who go to serve, of the congregations that send, and of the people in the communities you serve.
RCA Short-Term Mission works alongside RCA Global Mission to coordinate mission trips with our missionaries worldwide and to maintain partnerships with a variety of well-established mission partners in the U.S. and Canada. We believe that by partnering with ongoing ministries, our short-term mission trips can have long-term impact.
