Exporting everyday Janes and Joes around the globe on short-term mission trips to support and sustain church plants!
Over the years we have literally taken thousands of folks from Vineyard across the globe! People go and serve on practical work projects, with prayer teams and in leadership development. Their lives are changed because of how God works through them and in them, and their faith is radicalized!

Upcoming Trips
Puerto Vallarta, Mexico
WHEN: December 28 to January 7
WHERE: Puerto Vallarta, Mexico (Paradise Vineyard Church with missionaries Ric and Joy Lehman—get a preview at www.worshipinparadise.org)
WHAT: Paradise Vineyard Church is made up of folks who winter half the year in Puerto Vallarta, as well as those who have moved down full-time. They recently moved into a new 10,000 sq ft space! In addition to being the church, the space is a community center and restaurant as well.
All team members will assist in worship on Sunday morning. During the week we’ll do construction for either Compassionate Homes or a local church that partners with Ric. This may include installing concrete floors or roofs, putting up walls or painting. We may also do yard work to keep animals out of the homes. We’ll also take out a mobile kitchen and cook hamburgers or hotdogs in a poor neighborhood. The week might also include time praying and participating in worship at a variety of partner churches, an orphanage in the area, putting on a “kid’s camp”, etc. There will also be plenty of opportunities to help folks with a “hand up” as well as servant outreach.
It’s wonderful to have Spanish speakers join us for translation purposes, but it isn’t mandatory.
HOW: We’ll fly. We’ll take vans to the airport.
COST: The cost is approximately $1199; however, if the airfare has gone up it will be airfare + $800. The payment schedule is as follows:
Application + airfare due when ticket purchased; hopefully by September 26, 2010. We can get a fabulous deal right now on the airfare so it is definitely to one’s advantage to get your application and initial payment in asap.

Spanish is the official language at the home, but translators are available. The children will not be in school while we are there. We plan to participate in church and street ministry as well as in community outreach (working with a La Viña church plant in Tipi Tapa). A variety of activities to support and sustain Vineyard church plants in Nicaragua are also planned.
