Youth Missions Trip 2024

Updated: Feb 27

We are so excited to be sending a team of 23 to learn, serve, and minister in San Salvador, El Salvador! International missions trips have been a vibrant part of Calvary over the years and we are pumped that after the pause, due to the pandemic, we are stepping back into this opportunity. We know it's a time where our team experiences fresh experiences with God, gains new perspectives and culture, grows together as family, is empowered to serve and use their gifts, and creates incredible memories along the way. We are happy to have some youth from other churches and communities as well.


WHEN? March 8 - 15, 2024

WHERE? San Salvador, El Salvador

WHAT ARE WE DOING AND HOW YOU CAN PRAY FOR US

Use the schedule listed below to pray for the team specifically each day. Pray for our various outreach opportunities and also the session/worship/community times we will have in the evenings (or afternoons). Pray God does amazing transformation work THROUGH us but also IN us throughout our journey and adventure each day. Each day there is a specific declaration to pray over the day and team.
