One of our values is Seek First the Kingdom, which involves taking the gospel beyond North America. We desire to maximize our partnership with the International Mission Board to mobilize church planters to experience — and reach — the nations.
These vision trips are designed for Send Network-endorsed planters in years 1-3. As a part of Send Network, planters can apply for one of eight different Global Vision Trips in 2024.
The approximate duration of each trip will be 8–9 days. The goal is for the planter to experience at least five full days on the ground in an international setting. Travel to and from the trip location could involve anywhere from a day to a day-and-a-half on each end.
Each trip will take place in cross-cultural settings working alongside IMB field missionary teams. These seasoned teams will design opportunities for church planters to have exposure to God's activity among the nations. Planters will see with their own eyes Great Commission work in places like India, Pakistan and Bulgaria. Each trip will involve practical ministry experience. Planters will be directly involved in the work of cross-cultural disciple making.
When God births a new local church, He has the nations on his mind. The goal for these trips is that each church planter returns home with God’s heart for the nations. Opportunities will be emphasized on each trip for long-term involvement and partnership with IMB teams.
These trips will be led by the Send Network director of global engagement, Mike Laughrun, who can be reached at [email protected].
