Mission Trips
At least once annually, GFB sponsors a mission trip to the region where we are working. These trips are open to anyone who would like to go, though there is trip preparation the individual is expected to make prior to going.

Because of the rustic nature of the trip, it is not advised for someone with health issues to make the trip. Typically you will be sleeping in a hammock, in some ways in a camping-type of environment, the climate is hot, the days are long and the sleep is interrupted. Age is not an issue, your health and stamina are.

Activities include Vacation Bible School type of activities with hundreds of children daily, house to house visitation, activities with teenagers, physical projects (e.g., improving a street, laying sewer pipe, working on a church building, etc.) and nightly evangelistic services.

One of the primary activities you will be engaged in can be called "power evangelism." Power evangelism is a form of evangelism which relies primarily on the supernatural power and gifts of the Holy Spirit for its effectiveness. Although most Christians would believe that a person is brought to faith primarily through the action of God in the person of the Holy Spirit, in this form of evangelism supernatural events such as healings, words of knowledge and speaking in tongues are a demonstration of the power, and therefore the reality, of God.

Power evangelism is that gospel presentation which is both rational and transcends the rational; it comes with the demonstration of the power of God, with signs and wonders and introduces the numinous of God. It is a life-changing activity! 

While tightly packed with activities and physically tiring, these trips will give you some of the most intense periods of spiritual growth you can possibly imagine. To say they are rewarding is a dramatic understatement!
