FAMILY Mission Trips

Donate your time and skills to the children and communities of East Africa.

There are many opportunities for your family to serve together from working in our primary school, serving meals, teaching or leading P.E.


There are a variety of mid-week outreach programs we hold within different villages, leading kids to youth Bible studies. We have a large gated guesthouse on our compound in the village allowing you and your family to easily interact with the children and families in the community on a daily basis. 



It's amazing to watch children from America, UK, Europe and other countries just playing with the children we serve and witness kids just being kids and making friends.

A NEW FAMILY

Once you arrive, you will join people from all over the world assisting with the weekly outreach and educational programs. 


You will find it an enriching experience to meet new friends from all over the world as you live together, minister together, share meals together and learn about different cultures. 


Even though you’re thousands of miles from home as you volunteer as a family you will find an amazing sense of community and your children will learn hands-on about other cultures and how God is moving in different parts of the world. It's an experience that will expand their hearts and minds.

CUSTOMIZED DATES

Our family trips can be customizable, meaning you can come when the kids are out of school, spring, winter or summer break or anytime of the year that works for you. Or your family can join in on our medical camp or Empower Youth Camp trips.
