Our Swaziland Base is Growing!

At a Glance: Learn about our International Base Hear about the building of a Vocational Training Center Give to the future of this community Did you know that Adventures in Missions has an international base in Swaziland? Earlier in the year, we built a large team house to provide lodging for teams of up to 70 people at our main site in Nsoko. The old team house is being converted into a computer lab, where we can facilitate tutoring and basic keyboard training for children and adults in the community. This year, we are building on the momentum we have in Nsoko and hoping to build a...

A Perspective Shift of Fundraising

“Never think you need to apologize for asking someone to give to a worthy objective, any more than as though you were giving him an opportunity to participate in high-grade investment. The duty of giving is as much his as the duty of asking is yours.”– John D. Rockefeller For some, the word fundraising is a bad or scary word. It holds a weight — as though it could stand between you and the purpose of God, and your call into the nations. But the thing is, fundraising can only hold the power you give it. And you actually have control over whether the power of fundraising...

This Team Prayed, and God Healed a Man of Cancer

One of Adventures Core Values is Listening Prayer—the belief that God does speak to us and we can hear what He is saying. Many of our trips have set-aside times of listening prayer ministry, called “Ask the Lord,” or ATL.  While listening for God’s leading on a family trip to Appalachia, Vici saw different images: a pastor, an ugly boil, and the words “extravagant healing”. She knew God was going to do something awesome; but she had no idea He would use her in the miraculous way He healed Pastor Bo’s cancer. During our trip to Appalachia, our team...

God Is Taking Me Deeper Into What It Means to Trust Him

While on the World Race, Drew Ferguson saw firsthand the power of prayer. Now that she is on a Kingdom Journeys trip in Nepal, God is taking her deeper in what it means to trust Him with everything. Ministry had just finished for the day. We spent all day walking around a Hindu holy site and made our way alongside a bustling, dirt-packed road in Nepal, waiting for a bus to transport us home. Towards the end of our line of Racers, I stood leaning against a black railing separating the sidewalk from the road. Now, even if you haven’t been overseas, you can well imagine that 50...

Share the Gospel in Cuba after 50 Years of Closed Doors

For 21 years, we have waited for Cuba to open, and for the last four years, we have been carefully laying the groundwork to take you and your group to Cuba. The door may have been closed for a long time, but today it is open. The time to share the hope of Jesus in Cuba is NOW. Cuba has been in the news a lot lately. After a recent opening in its relationship with the US, the incoming administration is suggesting new agreements will have to be re-negotiated. With the uncertainty this creates, what we know is that in the short term (we are guessing through summer of 2017), we have a window of...

The Life Changing Lesson I Learned in Haiti

Elizabeth Wood went to Haiti hoping to make an impact, but she didn’t expect the powerful lesson she would learn from the very people she went to serve. When you come home from a mission trip, you might get asked, “What did you do for the people? Did you feel like you made an impact? Did God speak to you?” Honestly, during the trip I asked myself these questions every day, and I struggled to find the answers. I eventually reached out to my team members and leader about my concerns and they had encouraging responses, but in the end God gave the last word. During the week long...
