Will I be giving or receiving with a MEI Short-Term Mission trip?  The answer is an unequivocal Yes!

Thinking about a Short-Term Mission trip (STM)?  Mission Encounters International (MEI) has been hosting STM teams for over 15 years now, offering an almost turn-key process, providing your team a comfortable and safe experience to focus on your chosen ministries.  

Teams often participate in such outreach events as:

• • Home visitations and prayer
• • Children and Youth ministries
• • Community projects
• • Partnering with indigenous churches
• • Assist with vocational training
• • Construction or other special projects 

MEI STM participants feedback:

• • “I was busy participating while in Helene so I haven’t completely processed everything that has happened and what God has done in my life, but what I do know is that there has been a fire storm lit deep within me!”
• • “Our hope is that we have Transformed Lives and Impacted Nations (the people of Helene) with our visit and many interactions. We know that our lives have been transformed by our trip to Helene.”
• • “The mindset of most Americans who go on a mission trip is to accomplish a physical task while there. While this is true, however the most important task we can accomplish is to build relationships and share the Gospel.”
• • “Wow! As I write and reflect again on our trip this year, I am amazed how our God works in big and little ways to further his kingdom here on earth. People often ask why we continue to go to Helene. There are many reasons, but for me it boils down to this…Jesus commands us in John 13 to love one another as He loved us.”
