This trip to the Horn of Africa will feature house visits, cultural experiences, and caring for the team of missionaries there. It would be a great help to have someone with a medical background/PT/Speech therapy but not a requirement for joining!

This trip will give opportunity to link arms with a Summit family located in Bangkok! We will be spending time identifying persons of peace, building relationships, evangelizing, missionary support as well as possible English camps and college campus outreach. Get ready to walk, pray and be led by the Spirit to continue His work there!

This trip of 4-6 people will be headed to a large and global city in the Middle East, with the goal of assisting one of Summit’s long term workers living in the area. The team will help with identifying and scoping out new areas of ministry with a refugee population within this city and another larger city within the country. Members of the team must be flexible, able to walk multiple miles per day, and open to meeting new people as the Spirit leads in prayer-walking. Joining this team is a great opportunity to learn more about what God is doing in the Middle East while providing love and encouragement to the workers here.

The harvest is plentiful but the laborers are few. Cities in South Asia are bustling with people from every tribe, nation, people, and tongue who have yet to hear the good news! Join the work of planting and sowing seeds among the abundant population of university students and young professionals in a South Asian city of nearly 8 million people.

Our team will be visiting one of our Summit missionaries involved with starting a church planting network with local German pastors. We will learn the history of Christianity in the area, go on prayer walks, visit key historical sites, and learn about urban ministry from German church planters and leaders. The trips we are offering, are much different than a classic missions trip that involves going on the street and evangelizing. It would be very hard in our context and culture to do that because of the language barrier and it would actually probably do more damage than good being on the streets trying to talk with people in a language they do not speak. Therefore, there is always a question about how to use a team most effectively. We have come up with a hybrid trip where it will join a Church Plant for a weekend to encourage them and partner with them in prayer and fellowship, but also using the time as a discipleship/leadership trip for our church by looking at the Reformation, WW2, and Cold War sites to talk about leadership and conviction as a Christian in the midst of adversity. It is a tool to inform and teach about the church in Germany and calling people to missions locally and globally. This trip would not be for the individual who wants to be on the street daily passing out tracts, but it could be for anyone, even whole families, or father / sons or husband / wife who want to partner with a Church Plant and to challenge their faith.

This trip is going to visit one of our church-planting families who have been serving in Japan for over 10 years. We are going to visit them in the city of Fukuoka where they are in preparation to plant a bilingual church. They are hoping to launch an English outreach program to build relationships and make connections in the city. Our team will help put on an event that they can spin off into an ongoing English ministry.

The Japanese people are the second largest unreached people group in the world and often resistant to the Gospel. As our missionaries open a church mobilization center in Tokyo, our team is invited to help train Japanese pastors in evangelism, kids/students ministry, small groups, and everything in between! Our primary focus is to care for our missionaries and spur them as they labor daily in the harvest via long-term relationships. Some days this will look like prayer walking with our M's, evangelism, discipleship, visiting churches, helping in outreach, etc. You will be equipped with everything you need for a week of ministry, just make sure you bring a heart ready to serve and care!
