We were made for more.
We were made for more.
Followers of Jesus everywhere are more and more frustrated by the distance between learning about God and actively following Jesus.
We want to break out of the tired rhythms of life focused on ourselves and move toward actually loving and serving our neighbors (and experience what Jesus called "life to the full"), but too often we aren't sure where to start, what exactly to do, or how to do it the right way.
EM's group mission trips are an incredible starting point to a life of love and service to others.
What EM Group Mission Trips are all about
Engage cross-cultural settings with humility and understanding
Come as a guest, ready to listen and learn as much as you serve, bringing crucial experiences back to your own life and community.
Connect to established ministries and organizations
Support and encourage incredible, servant-hearted people already reaching out to their own communities in meaningful ways.
Take part in simple yet profound service experiences
Serve together with your youth group or adult team. Open the door to a life of loving your neighbors, day-in and day-out.

Organized and led by EM field staff or local partners, your trip will bring encouragement and light to people in difficult circumstances, as you learn what it means to care for all people, whoever and wherever you are.
Why serve together on group mission trips?
There are not very many opportunities in life to give 100% of our energy and focus to serving and learning from people different than ourselves.
Bringing your group on a mission trip gives each person an opportunity to start living into their calling as a follower of Jesus to “love their neighbors as themselves” by introducing them to new cultures and challenges that help them grow and foster a life-long openness to what God is doing around the world.

Our Commitment to Fighting Racism and Injustice
In seeking to DO JUSTICE, love mercy, and walk humbly with God, we feel compelled to continue this work until there is an end to racism, inequality, and unjust systems that are the opposite of the heart of Jesus.
Is Missions about Social Justice or Evangelism?
When I look at the life of Jesus, his example seems clear. He didn't just care about people's spiritual condition, but he cared about their social and physical needs as well.
