Mission Trips 2024 Impacting the World for Christ

About DMC Mission Trips

Next spring, over 35 students and chaperones from our school will take part in international mission trips on one of our two teams to Honduras or Abaco. We have two teams but one mission: to impact the world for Christ. Read on to learn more about what each team will be doing to share God's love.

Team Abaco

Team Abaco, which is located in the Bahamas, will work first hand with Haitian refugees that are looking to begin a new life outside of the country of Haiti. This upstart to their life provides opportunities for our mission trip members to evangelize through VBS Bible Camps, community outreach, new building projects, and agricultural sustainability projects.

“Our trips center around giving you opportunities to use your God-given talents together, while working alongside the Haitian people. Our goal is to immerse you in the culture of Haiti, providing opportunities for God to speak as you take action in His global church.”

- Tim Brand, CEO Many Hands for Haiti

Team Honduras

Team Honduras will have the unique opportunity to work alongside community members to help empower them with the resources they need to provide food, education, healthcare and assistance for their families and neighbors, bringing hope in the midst of difficult circumstances.

“I knew that God had been preparing me for this trip the second that I stepped on the plane. I knew that in the midst of chaos, I had to rely on God to guide me through this trip. I had so many amazing experiences throughout the week and I could see God revealing Himself to me in ways that I never imagined.” - Liliana Boley ‘19

In order for a student to participate in one of the 2024 mission trips, each is required to raise at least $2,500 toward the estimated total mission trip expenses of $80,000.

Thank you to our Sponsors

Be Brave. Be Bold. Love Big. Students at Des Moines Christian School are provided the opportunity to live out their bold calling on an international mission field through an annual high school mission trip. This trip has been paused since 2020, and we are so excited to get back into the international, short-term mission field in 2024. After years of preparation through local missions, students are ready to take the Gospel abroad and impact the world for Christ. They will bravely follow what the Lord asks them to do, boldly believe Him to provide each step of the way, and love the people of Abaco and Honduras.

This year we have over 35 students and chaperones participating in our mission trips. In Honduras, we will serve alongside MDM Hondruas to provide medical missions, complete construction projects, and do outreach evangelism. In Abaco, students will serve alongside Many Hands for Haiti by working with Haitian refugees who are beginning a new life. Ministry outreach includes VBS Bible camps, compassion ministry, and agricultural projects.

The cost of each trip covers trip expenses such as airfare, lodging, transportation within the country, travel insurance, and meals. Each student will be responsible for raising $2,500 to cover the remaining costs. Please consider making a contribution to help make this trip possible for our students.
