Global Missions
Taking the Word to the World
At the heart of our endeavor lies a profound purpose – to take the timeless wisdom and truths found within the pages of the Bible and share it with the world. We believe these biblical truths can transcend boundaries, touch hearts, and transform lives. In an era where information flows ceaselessly through digital channels, we recognize the urgency of carrying the profound teachings of the Bible to every corner of the globe. Since 1996, Pastor Kent and our mission teams have taken trips to 85 different countries, led over 260,000 people in salvation, prayed with 25,482 people to receive the Holy Spirit, and witnessed over 2,400 divine healings. The focus of our trips ranges anywhere from medical missions to biblical teachings/evangelism.

Why Aviation?
The next forty years of missions work will be revolutionized through private aviation. Arguably, several inadequacies of public transportation in the extension of ministry will be eliminated through the use of a ministry aircraft. A ministry plane will limit safety concerns and enable us to land much closer to our final destination. It will cut travel time in half—or more—and reduce administrative details and logistics so the focus can be more on ministry!

Frequently Asked Questions
What are the requirements to go on a trip?
We have a basic set of requirements that are set for all trips. Still, requirements may vary based on the location of the trip: Have a heart for missions (willingness to take the gospel global), must be willing to complete and submit required documents, must attend the required meetings regarding the trip, and meet all payments and fees.
Can my children come on a trip with me?
Decisions will be made once we have an opportunity to meet with the individual family and discuss the trip in person. Some trips may not be suitable for specific age groups.
Do I need to take the Accelerate Bible College Classes or the Internship to go?
No, this is not necessary. Mission Trips are open to anyone willing and able to go.
Is there an age limit?
No, however, children 14 and younger must be accompanied by a parent, guardian, or trip leader.
Do I need to be vaccinated?
Post-Covid regulations are constantly evolving. We encourage you to visit the CDC, Delta, and Travel.State websites. These links can be found at the bottom of our webpage. The mission department understands and follows these guidelines to ensure that we abide by the laws of the land.
I have a disability; can I still go?
It depends on the type of trip and, more importantly, your condition. The mission department wants to ensure an excellent experience for each member. We must know all health issues before going on a trip. Knowing these things ahead of time may prevent mishaps during or after the trip. We can also better accommodate you or redirect you to a trip that would be better suited for your needs.
I can’t physically go on a trip, but I want to contribute. What can I do?
Thank you so much for your willingness to participate! There are many things that you can do. The most important one is pray. Praying for our teams and leaders helps us tremendously. We typically pray for the following, but this is not all: God’s will for the trip, weather, safety, ministry opportunities, finances, global relationships, and leaders and volunteers.
Are the trips paid for?
Currently, our trips are not free. Fees are requested for flights, hotels, and other accommodations.
I can no longer go on the trip. Can I be refunded?
Unfortunately, refunds are not an option when attending a mission trip. Funds are used to book flights and hotels, many of which give vouchers instead of cash refunds. We encourage you to prayerfully consider all circumstances before making any payment for a trip. Once tickets/ down payments are purchased/submitted, there will be no refund option.
Can I go on a Church Plant trip?
We currently can’t make Church Planting trips available to the congregation. As this is a new initiative, we will only have a select few assist us with these time-sensitive trips. If you still wish to participate, we ask that you pray over our team’s vision, donate to the church plant cause, or support the leaders by praying for their safety and the country they are traveling to.
Can children attend at a discounted rate?
If the airlines, hotels and other agencies provide discounts for children, we will certainly extend those discounts to you. Generally, with international travel children and adults pay the same rates.
Is there a scholarship fund?
We currently do not have a scholarship fund. However, some people who cannot physically attend a trip, offer to pay for someone else to go. Please understand that though this may happen, it is not guaranteed and we do not seek out or track givers who offer their funds. We suggest writing a missions fundraiser letter or sharing your trip opportunity with friends, family, and on social media to raise funds to attend.
