Every day, a youth group flies out of their home airport to go out into the world and spread the good news. 

It’s so awe-inspiring to witness teens and young children share their personal stories about the journey to the cross with new believers. God has commanded us to go out into the world and spread His love. When we commit to doing that with open hearts, real change happens in the world and within our own lives. 

You might be surprised to find that the amazing work teens do for the Lord on a missions trip also has wonderful real-world benefits! 

• It’ll Strengthen The Bond Of The Youth Group

Having a tight-knit youth group leads to a successful transition of church leadership when the time comes to pass the baton to the next generation. Inspire your young group of believers to connect deeply to one another as they build a foundation of friendship in Christ through a mission trip. 

• The Experience Can Be Added To College Applications

God provides blessings in the most unexpected ways. Through mission trips, teens can gain valuable experience to add to college applications. Embarking on a trip abroad to help others in need proves leadership skills and courage as kids leave their comfort zones to travel. University admissions teams love to see these types of experiences on resumes and applications because it shows proof of character. 

• It Offers A Chance To Discover New Skills

Speaking of college applications, these trips also offer teens the opportunity to discover new talents and strengthen new skills. From speaking in front of large groups of people to tackling hands-on projects, the various types of service done on mission trips give kids a chance to explore new areas of interest. 

• It Boosts Confidence & Self-Esteem

Confidence and self-esteem are hot topics when it comes to teens. As parents or spiritual leaders, we want the best for our kids. So, what better way to show them that they are capable, strong, and smart than by allowing them to go out into the world as an ambassador for Jesus Christ? 

• It Spreads Positivity, Love, And Light 

Teens might not speak the language, and they might not understand the culture. But, the power of His love bridges those gaps to spread His word. 

If you’re ready to spread the word of Christ and see real positive change around the world, join us in the Philippines for Jesus Global Youth Day 2019.
