Want to get more involved in global missions, whether by serving abroad or supporting from home? Let us know!
Have questions about missions? Start here!
No! We need people to pray for our partners, to pray for the teams going out to serve, we need people to help us with fundraising and gathering supplies for the trips, and for those who feel called, we need people to financially support the teams. There are so many ways to get involved in global missions at Bridgeway, and not all of them require you to travel!
Deciding to participate in a mission trip is a commitment that requires time, energy, and effort. You will be required to participate in training (at least 6 meetings with your team before travel) to ensure you are prepared for cross-cultural ministry, fundraising the full amount required to go, traveling with your team and serving for the full 1-2 weeks in country, and finally, participating in an intentional debrief when you return to the US.
Amazing! We have several trips we offer for people with varying levels of international and missions experience, and we’ll help you figure out which one is right for you. If you enter with an open heart and a flexible spirit willing to serve in any way that is asked of you, you will have plenty of opportunities.
Nope, although it always helps if you do! All of our trips will have access to translators, so you will be able to navigate the country and communicate with our partners. However, we do encourage all of our participants to at least start learning basic phrases in the local language to make an effort to communicate with our partners and those we are going to serve.
Of course! There is a wide variety of needs across our various partnerships, and we always need people with special skills to come serve cross-culturally. Let us know how you are gifted, and we will make sure you get to use those gifts to partner in God’s mission.
Both! Some of our trips are limited to only adult participation, but several are open to students and people of all ages, allowing you to serve together as a family. Look out for upcoming trips that are described as “family-friendly” to find opportunities where your kids can serve alongside you as well.
Trips typically cost between $2,500 and $4,000, with all travel and in-country expenses included (airfare, lodging, food, transportation, and ministry costs and supplies are covered by this). Most people do not pay for their trip out-of-pocket and choose to fundraise instead. The cost is not due up front but there will be various deadlines throughout the preparation and training to make sure you are on track with fundraising. The most common way to fundraise individually is by sending out support letters to friends and family members, though teams are welcome to get creative and come up with other fundraising ideas too.
Yes, safety is a top priority in the planning of these trips. We work with trusted local partners who are familiar with the areas where the teams stay and do ministry, and leaders take precautions around health, security, and logistics throughout the trip. As with any travel, there is always some inherent risk, but if the trip is deemed to be unsafe at any time (either before departure or while in the country), the leaders will take appropriate action to ensure the safety of the entire team, whether it results in needing to cancel/postpone the trip, or come home early.
