How do I get involved in a mission trip?

Hello Jennifer,
are you looking to do a long term trip, or short term trip? Do you have the finances to be able to do a mission trip?
Let me know what your situation is I can direct you to right place. Most Mission organization don’t have lots of funds, so they look to volunteers to help support the work.
If you are looking to do mission work in the Middle East, you can contact Arabs for Christ, they are totally evangelistic in their efforts.
