STCH Ministries International offers mission trip opportunities throughout the year. Our scheduled dates are below and additional dates may also be available. *Please note: Proposed dates always depend on how much interest there is in a particular week and the number of applications received for that week. There is a non-refundable $100 per person deposit due at the time of booking. The deposit is deducted from the final land cost invoice. The deposit is transferable within the year. After that year, the deposit will be used to help fund ongoing international projects. Please talk with your trip leader if you have questions.
We specialize in…
- Tailoring each trip to the interests, gifts, ages and skills of the people involved.
- Partnering with established ministries in other countries to maintain the accomplishments of each team.
- Stimulating and strengthening families by encouraging them to serve together. Special things happen when families serve together and younger children are welcome when a parent is present.
Our ministry is dynamic and constantly changing as people respond to God’s calling on their lives. Our greatest mission trip experiences happen when someone says, “This is my ability and passion. How can I serve God on a mission trip?” Others have served through:
- Medical and dental clinics
- Vacation Bible Schools, ESL Classes, Sports Camp and other children’s activities
- Orphanage visits
- Construction, home repairs, and maintenance to orphanages and Christian schools
- Workshops on parenting, nutrition, sewing, leadership training or teacher training at Christian schools
- Conferences/Events, Marriage, Family, Pastoral Conferences
- Bible Studies for Ladies, Men, Mom’s, Dad, College Students (Bible studies can include a craft)
- Other Opportunities: Baking, Mural Painting, Counseling Services – for licensed counselors only
- Bilingual volunteers are always needed!
