Our trip dates are carefully planned and scheduled to maximize their effectiveness and minimize disruptions to the ongoing work of our indigenous teams in Africa and Haiti. Factors we consider:

• Collaborating with Our Indigenous Team: We work closely with our indigenous teams to select mission trip dates. Our goal is to align our trips with the schedule of our discipleship sports leagues, which are an integral part of our outreach programs. This allows us to effectively engage with the local communities and enhance our discipleship efforts.

• Avoiding Local Elections: We also make a concerted effort to steer clear of local elections when scheduling mission trips. This helps to maintain a safe and stable environment during your visit, as elections can sometimes lead to unpredictable situations.

• Consideration for ongoing outreach: Hosting mission trip participants adds an additional load to our indigenous teams, who are already engaged in daily outreach. We carefully plan mission trips to ensure that the burden on our teams is manageable and sustainable, as their primary focus remains on the ongoing work in the community.

Given the factors mentioned above, it is not feasible for us to change our already scheduled mission trip dates for 2024. We would be delighted to host you on one of these trips!
