FAQs How to Apply

Check out these summer 2027 short-term mission trips

Is God calling you to the mission field? TEAMtrek can help you find out. 

TEAMtrek is more than a typical short-term mission trip. For 6 weeks up to 12 months, you’ll step into the heart of diverse cultures where you can see, hear, and love like Jesus. Witness His work around the world and you won’t come back the same. God is in the transformation business, and all it takes is to step out in faith and spend time pursuing Him. 

TEAMtrek is an invitation to experience missions, discover your calling, and journey with Jesus.
