We will break into small teams during ministry and share the Gospel in schools, villages, markets, and streets. In the evening we will host city-wide family festivals (crusades) in public spaces. We will also be helping to enrich communities through service projects. We will venture into two regions to bring the Gospel to these precious people. Team members will have connecting flights to a U.S. city and fly together with the Global Ventures staff to Asuncion. International team members will fly directly to Asuncion and meet us there.

          Years ago, I loved to go on Mission Trips.  When I worked at the Abundant Life Prayer Group at Oral Roberts Ministries, at the Abundant Life Prayer Group, after praying 40 hours a week (which was a lot of spiritual work!) I had no desire to go anywhere.  But now I work for Liberty University from home in Rolla, MO as a New Enrollment Specialist and go to church here in Waynesville, MO at The River (pastored by Howie & Melanie Malone –  www.theriver.net)

At The River – the small group Bible studies are called “Streams” so on Saturdays at 5:30 at Panera Bread in St Robert I am leading “the Evangelism Stream” using my book:  “I Want to Witness, But What Do I Say?”  as the Bible Study text for the group.  I have also given out hundreds of tracts that I created at Fort Leonard Wood Army base on various holidays  (Halloween Thanksgiving Christmas, Valentine’s St Patrick’s Day, Easter, Memorial Day & 4th of July, and  Labor Day).  A dozen soldiers have given their hearts to the Lord this year and prayed a Salvation Prayer after me there!  I give Him all the glory!

Recently a missionary named Brenda Sands spoke about her adventurous fruitful 2023 Summer Mission Trips with Global Ventures and she is 71! 

As she spoke,  my spirit lept inside me and God was urging me that He wanted me to go on Missions Trips too!  I was not too old to go on Mission Trips with Global Ventures!  They take all ages! The harvest is plenteous and the laborers are few!

    You see, in the past, I have gone on  these  6 Short-Term ( a week to 10 days)  MISSIONS TRIPS:
