Missions Trips with 12Stone Church
Guatemala, a Central American country south of Mexico, is the most populated country in Central America and is home to volcanoes, rainforests and ancient Mayan sites. The capital, Guatemala City, is a modern, urban city but the rural areas suffer from poverty and lack of basic needs such as water and medical. 12Stone Church partners with Medical Missions Ministries in Guatemala.
The name of the Moyo Missions outreach in Brazil is Vinde Meninos, which means “Come Children” in Portuguese. This name was inspired by an old hymn welcoming children to come and give their lives to Christ. In the Gospel of Matthew 19:13- 15, we see the heart of Jesus as He welcomes children as they come to Him. Kids at Vinde Meninos REALLY love soccer! Along with teaching them about the Bible and helping with schoolwork, we like to help them advance their skills in the things they love.
The mission of Camp Grace is to transform the lives of urban under-served youth through grace with overnight camps. They have found that getting youth out of the city environment for extended overnight stays and showing them unconditional love and speaking hope into their lives is transforming the campers.
Our team will be serving the kids who are attending the camp by providing crafts, doing stations, helping with meal service, and generally serving in any capacity needed for the camp.
Please Note: children will need to be 13 and up to serve
Kenya is in Eastern Africa and is a country of 55 million residents. Deep poverty can be seen in all areas of the country, whether rural or urban. Clean water, sanitation, education, and food insecurity are just some of the issues faced by many of its residents. 12Stone Church partners with World Gospel Missions, Canopy Life International, Choose to Invest, and 410 Bridge in Kenya to serve the people by meeting needs and sharing Christ.

Since the war between Russia and Ukraine began in February of 2022 over 4 million refugees have crossed into Poland seeking peace and shelter. 12Stone Church is partnering with ministries in Poland to serve Ukrainian refugees who have settled in Krakow as well as those entering the border city of Przemysl. You will be assisting the refugees as they board the train to their next place of care. While you are helping board the trains you will be giving gift bags prepared by 12Stone kids ministry to the refugee children.

Although Winston Churchill once called Uganda the “Pearl of Africa” its natural beauty is often overlooked because of the impact poverty has had on the East African nation. In 2012 Moyo Missions stepped into that poverty to build The Village of Eden, a home for orphaned and vulnerable children in Eastern Uganda. You will serve some of these children as well as the missionaries from around the world who live there.

FAQs
There are many ways to choose which trip is best for you. You may feel a connection to a certain area; a place you’ve studied, visited before, or a specific culture or people group that God has put on your heart. Ultimately, we ask that you pray and ask God for discernment and confirmation as you consider this faith journey.
Each day participants will partner with local believers in their neighborhoods to build relationships with people through community transformation projects, and help bring the love and message of Jesus to that location. You will definitely receive more than you give!

Every trip has different opportunities and challenges so each person’s ability to participate is handled on a case by case basis.
The majority of trips last anywhere from 7 to 10 days.
Trip costs typically range from $1500-$3500. This includes your airfare, transportation, translators, meals in country, and housing. A $100 deposit fee is required once your application has been accepted and will be rolled into your trip balance. If you decide to have a meal or coffee at an airport, this will come from personal money unless otherwise specified by your trip leader.
In addition, you may want to bring personal spending money as some countries have markets to buy souvenirs. These make great mementos to remember your trip by, as well as thoughtful gifts for some of your financial supporters.
Yes. Travelers insurance is supplied for trip participants. Typical coverage might include Accidental Death and Dismemberment, Medical Expenses, Emergency Medical Evacuation, Family Coordination & Repatriation, Assistance Services, Crisis Management Service, luggage, General Liability, Disability Income, etc.

In short, NO! While financial stewardship is extremely important in our walk with Christ, our Heavenly Father provides for the mission He calls His children to do. Your mission trip starts the moment you are accepted, which includes being trained in the support raising process. We believe you will see support raising as an incredible experience of God’s provision because the God we serve is bigger than any number. Pray about which of the countries and ministries the Lord would have you serve and sign up!

Throughout this ministry you will function as part of a team. Your effectiveness is determined not just from an individual standpoint, but also as a team. Each person’s ability to raise funds varies depending on who they know, how many people they know, their ability to communicate effectively, etc. Therefore, since the goal is to fund the entire team, any monies given beyond what you will need will go to support other team members who are behind on their fundraising goal.
