DEEPENED RELATIONSHIP WITH CHRIST

Your youth will experience God in a new and more intimate way during your short term mission trip. We want them to be able to say upon their return “I met God in a new way on this trip!” 

NEW GLOBAL WORLDVIEW

Your youth will see the world through different eyes because they have rubbed shoulders with another culture. We want them to able to say upon their return “Wow, I am part of something much larger than I ever imagined!”.

LEAVE THEIR COMFORT ZONE 

Your group will be challenged to be involved in things that are outside of what they would normally consider their “comfort zone”. We want them to be able to say “I did things that I would have never done before in my experience with Vida Missions!”.

“Vida Missions intentionally trains students to practically serve and meet the needs of people in Costa Rica and in your hometown. Not only did our group feel very cared for spiritually, We felt very pushed out of our own in ways that allowed God to be put on display. While our students got to see how their God worked in and through them in new ways, relationships where deepened lives were changed, and salvation was found through the discipleship experience Vida Missions provided for us. Our students and the Kingdom are better off because of what God is doing through Vida Missions.”

My favorite part of Vida Missions was the sense of community, because you are living with other youth groups at the base and then when you went out you were living with a new family.

It was my first worship service in another country and another language, and it was very eye opening seeing other Christians in another part of the world. It opened my eyes to see that North Americans aren’t the only Christians in the world, that there are other people around the world on fire for God.
