HOW WE CAN HELP YOU
We know planning a church missions trip can feel like a lot of work – that is where we come in! From flights and hotels, to a scheduled week of ministry – you can enjoy a trip packed with life-changing encounters as you minister alongside your group. All you have to do is rally a group from your church and raise funds – we take care of everything else!
Once you are ready, we provide an assigned Mission Coach to walk you and your group through each step of the way!
As a Leader you will:
- Receive updates on your groups' progress. (Documents and Funds)
- Receive coaching and help raise funds for your group
- Receive training materials for your team to prepare for the trip
- Collaborate with a Mission Coach about your groups' team and room assignments

Our ultimate goal is to have meaningful partnerships with churches as we work together to fulfill the Great Commission!
HOW WE INSURE SAFETY FOR OUR PROJECTS
Every individual's needs are important to us and we keep that mind as we plan travel and ministry. We work closely with the group leader to meet the specific needs of each group. Although ministry is preplanned, we endeavor to provide a safe and genuine experience for each team member!
In every country, we work with seasoned missionaries and/or local pastors on the ground to ensure the security of the whole team. You can rest assured that GV is one of the safest and most trusted missions organizations you can travel with.
- GV Staff meets all travelers in a U.S. hub city before the international flight into country.
- Large team travels and stays together until the final destination.
- Entire team stays in a hotel, 2-4 people per room. (Minors room with 2 adults or parent)
- Team members are not allowed outside of the hotel unless leaving with team for ministry.
- Large team is divided into teams of 8-10 people with a seasoned Team Leader. Each team stays together throughout the day for ministry. (Church Groups are on the same team. However, larger church groups may be divided into multiple teams, but you can regroup at the hotel during down times if needed.)
- Everyone stays together at all times, restrooms breaks are taken together as a group.
- Meals are at the hotel or restaurant and are already tested and approved.
- A generous amount of water bottles are provided daily.

Testimonials
“Since 2009, The Life Church has partnered with GV to fulfill the Great Commission through short-term mission trips. GV handles all the logistics while we help supply the team members. Our members return from every trip ignited about reaching people with the gospel! Many experience leading someone to Jesus or seeing a healing miracle for the first time. TOGETHER, we accomplish so much more; it’s true synergy!”
– Pastors Walt and JoAnn Landers
“Global Ventures is the only mission organization I recommend to my church or other pastors. The process is easy, and they genuinely care about my experience. I have 100% confidence in the leadership, and I know they will be there to help with any questions or concerns. The most amazing part was being a part of an organization that displayed the love of God the entire trip. Not only with the people we were ministering to but also with me and the team.”
– Pastor John Culbertson
“I’ve been a pastoring now for 23 years, and in all the years of ministry I’ve always had a heart to go to the nations and I’d pray for God to send me somebody that can show me how. Global Ventures has done that! When I want young people in my church to see what missions looks like, I tell them immediately, ‘You’re going on a trip with Global Ventures, because you’re going to see what the heart of God looks like.'”
– Pastor Larry Ragland
Yes! We strive to keep families and/or groups together. The only time that this doesn’t happen is if your family or group is too big, but we will contact you to make sure that people are divided up in a way that will be best for everyone.
We will coordinate with your group leader to make sure that your group is divided up in a way that will be best for everyone. (For safety, minors are with adult chaperones in a room.)
We require one adult over 20 years of age for every 4-5 minors. This is necessary for our Mission Coaches to create safe rooming assignments for all our missionaries.
