Mission Trip Details

Meet the People of Maine

Hidden amongst Maine’s natural beauty are communities facing increased poverty, drug addiction and brokenness. The opportunities to serve in rural Maine are endless.

Settled into the foothills of the Appalachian Mountains, the Kennebec Valley is known for its connections to the Kennebec River. After decades of mill closures, a loss of an industry has left the communities of this area facing higher levels of poverty. This poverty has led to greater transient populations, higher levels of drug and alcohol abuse, broken families and grandparents raising their grandchildren. Hopelessness is evident as you drive up and down Route 201, the main connector between communities. Join us as we seek to serve in these broken communities seeking hope, restoration and community.

We invite you and your team to join the local church as we minister to local communities through VBS programs, sports camps, nursing home and homeless shelter visits, work projects, community outreach events and more!

Service Opportunities

Work Projects: Your team may have the opportunity to do some light construction projects at in need homes.
Community Outreach/ Evangelism: Your team may have the opportunity to help support the events and outreach mission of local churches. Fellowship with believers and give the community hope in Jesus and share the gospel with those that do not know Jesus.
Children’s Ministry: Teams may have the opportunity to do a VBS for the kids that live here.
Sports Ministry: Like children’s ministry, these opportunities will depend on your location, the churchs’ needs, and the time of year in which you go. Basketball, soccer and baseball are always the best for engagement.
Homeless Shelter Visits: Teams could have the chance to visit local men’s, women’s & family shelters to pray for the men and women serving or living in these facilities. This is a great way to engage with them, encourage them, share your faith with them, and provide them with a special treat as well!
Prayer Walks: Serve alongside a local church and reach out to their community with them. Discover the power of prayer and learn more about God’s heart as you pray.

Living Arrangements

Your team will stay inside the local church. They have room for 40 missionaries to bring sleeping pads/cots/air mattresses to sleep on. The host church has multiple bathrooms and showers. There is access to two kitchens and an indoor basketball court perfect for playing games and prepping ministry.

Transportation

Your team will fly into Boston, Massachusetts (4 hours away) or Portland, Maine (two hours away). Your team will need to provide their own transportation to travel. Driving may be a more cost effective option for your team.

Cooking

There is a full kitchen with anything you might need. Meals are very much a team effort, and we have a lot of fun in the process! Teams will participate in meal prep and serving. Breakfast will be cold cereal, fruit, bagels, etc. Hot breakfasts could be available as well, depending on the group’s willingness to contribute to the meal prep and cooking. Lunch will be packed sandwiches, fruit and a side to take to the ministry site. Hot dinners will typically be served after ministry at the church each day or alongside the ministry events.

Safety

The safety of our participants is a top priority for us. We have both an internal Risk Management team and external Risk Management consultants. We use a multi-pronged approach to risk management – including monitoring information from reporting agencies and relying on the knowledge of our ministry partners. In addition to our own protocols (e.g., students must be with an adult at all times), our ministry hosts and partners will provide trip specific safety guidelines for the particular trip location. Our Mission Leaders are trained in risk management and have access to both on-field and home-office support.

Registration and Payment

$500 Deposit: This deposit is required to reserve your trip. At this point, you will lock in your trip and we will keep in touch with you going forward about preparation. This deposit is applied to the total cost of your trip.

50% Payment: Half of your total trip cost will need to be paid 3 months before your trip.

100% Payment: The remaining balance is due 2 months before your trip.

Meet Your Project Leader

An adult Mission Leader will be assigned to your team throughout the duration of your trip. They will stay with you and your team, as well as engage daily with you throughout ministry and daily life activities. This leader will have strong missions experience, leadership experience and a demonstrated competence in the area of discipleship of youth and young adults. In most cases, your Mission Leader will help with facilitating ministry, meals and daily debrief and devotional time. Your Mission Leader will be assigned to your trip and you’ll have the opportunity to have conversations with them during the weeks leading up to your trip.
