## Mission Trip Options
|
||
This year we have two options for mission trip!
|
||
|
||
## SPLASH 3.0 - June 3-10 - Highschool only
|
||
This trip is designed for students who are ready to be “sent out” as witnesses for Jesus Christ. Students applying for this trip should have reached a point in their relationship with Jesus where they want to be used by Jesus to help people be drawn into a relationship with Him. On this trip you might be sharing your testimony, involved in helping individuals understand the Word of God, and experience life on life ministry. You will learn what it is like to "be sent" by Jesus to draw people into a relationship with Him and it will challenge you to practice dependence on the Holy Spirit for direction and guidance. As a team we will learn how to follow Jesus as He opens our eyes to see the needs of people.
|
||
|
||
There will be no planned destination for this trip because we will follow the Holy Spirit to the places He wants us to serve during this time. This will be a stretch for many but will also be greatly rewarding as we learn to trust God to show us the needs of others! The team will include several TFC staff members, and we may end up traveling into the states bordering Kansas as we look for the places where Jesus wants us to serve Him. We will be self-contained including packing tools to work with and food for fixing our own meals, and we will either stay in churches or sleep in tents overnight. The trip will prepare team members to see how Jesus wants to use us in the world by meeting the needs of people and making disciples. As a team we will be provided opportunities to listen to the Holy Spirit’s leading as we pray and follow in obedience to where Jesus sends us.

## Tulsa, Oklahoma - May 24-30 - 8th Grade and above
|
||
This trip is designed for students who are ready for the challenge of leaving their personal desires behind as they follow Jesus and help meet the needs of others through the ministry of [Praying Pelican Missions in Tulsa, OK](https://www.ppm.org/mission-trips/tulsa-oklahoma). While Tulsa’s history as an oil boomtown is well-known, many are less aware that it was also once home to one of the most vibrant black communities in the U.S. prior to the Tulsa Race Massacre in 1921 when 10,000 Black people lost their homes, and an estimated 300 people died. It is considered by some to be “the single worst incident of racial violence in American history.” Now, just over 100 years later, we will be part of a renewed effort to heal deep wounds, come together as a community, and build up the local Church in Tulsa to reach across social, economic, racial, and spiritual divides. Our mission team will work alongside local church or ministry partners to meet real needs in the community and we will also have the opportunity to learn more about Tulsa’s deep history with diversity.

<!-- ## 1-2 Day Local Trip - TBD -->
|
||
<!-- Formerly known as the SPLASH trip, this trip will be within 2 hours of the TFC office in Phillipsburg, KS and will be a 2 day trip where you can get a taste for a longer mission trip. If you don’t feel ready to go on a longer trip, or have scheduling conflicts with the other trips, this is the trip for you! You will still have the opportunity to serve and grow in your faith in Jesus. Click the button below to sign up for this trip! -->
