Who we are:

Journey Missions is a department of AFLC World Missions dedicated to short term foreign missions. Our desire is for people of all ages to have an opportunity to visit our AFLC foreign ministries through short term missions and to return home with a lasting impact to go and serve.

Journey Missions oversees two types of missions trips:

Student Missions Trips focus on students aged 15 to 19.

Intergenerational Missions Trips are for people of all ages to serve alongside each other.

Each missions trip will vary in objectives due to the different cultures and ministries. Some trips may be primarily relational, some may be support based, and some may be labor intensive.  

Journey Missions also oversees the Short Term Assistant (STA) program, which is a volunteer program for those wanting to serve an AFLC World Missions field for a time between three months to two years.

Short Term Assistants

-Serving Summer 2015-AFLC Journey Missions is a ministry dedicated to short term foreign missions within AFLC World Missions fields, through short term mission trips and the Short Term Assistant (STA) program.

A Short Term Assistant (STA) is a volunteer to the foreign field and missionary. Short Term Mission Trips and the STA program gives opportunities for volunteers to serve in a number of capacities from preaching and teaching, children’s and youth ministry, manual labor, and anything in between.

Serving as an STA is a great opportunity, and the goal of Journey Missions is not for attendees to serve internationally and be done; rather, the goal is for a long term impact. We pray people will go, serve, and return home with rejuvenated hearts to continue serving through their local congregation.

"How beautiful on the mountains are the feet of those who bring good news, who proclaim peace, who bring good tidings, who

proclaim salvation, who say to Zion, 'Your God reigns!'"

– Isaiah 52:7
