Short Term Mission Trips

Naperville Presbyterian Church encourages participation in short term missions trips that directly relate to sharing the gospel of Jesus Christ, church planting, and training those who will share the gospel of Christ. Mercy ministry and Christian care trips are important as well, as they can represent opportunities to share the gospel. The church's primary focus for short term missions trips is to share the gospel of Jesus.

Short term mission trips are a great way to connect with our World Outreach partners serving in various places and ministries throughout the world. Serving in a different culture, even for a week, provides you with wonderful opportunities for growth, while providing needed help to our partners. Expect to come home changed!

If you have a sincere, heart-felt desire to participate in a short term missions trip through Naperville Presbyterian Church, but do not have enough money to pay your own way, NPC does have some support funds available for these needs. You may complete and submit a short-term mission trip support application which will be reviewed by designated members of our World Outreach team.

2008 NPC Missions Trips

In addition to supporting and encouraging our missionaries, a goal of the World Outreach Team is to engage our NPC people in missions work. One of the best ways to get involved is to be immersed in missions work by taking a short-term missions trip. We are pleased to report that the 2008 short-term trips are targeting a variety of ministries across North America.

In January, Paul Veach led a group of 13 back to Trinity Christian Community in New Orleans where they continued to support the work of our missionary, Kevin Brown.

In March, Larry Lorimor will take 9 people to Reynosa, Mexico to join with John and Kathy Clow and their work with deaf children through Isaiah 55 Ministries.

In June, Brian Dennert is going with 20 high school students and sponsors to Sacred Road Ministries in Washington State. This ministry will be to Native Americans.

In July, NPC people will be joining with our Chicago Metro Presbytery in sending a team to Haiti. The work for this trip is still being finalized but will likely include dental work, construction work and ministry to children in orphanages. MORE INFORMATION

And, in October we will return to Lagniappe Presbyterian Church in Bay St. Louis, Mississippi. The focus of this trip will be evangelism and construction as we work with Pastor Jean Larroux and his church, which was literally born out of hurricane Katrina.

We continue to plan trips beyond this window and we look forward to engaging you to a greater extent in missions work down the road.
