Praying For Missionaries

Short Term Trips

Over the next 20 years, Finisterre Vision is aiming to reach 49 more unreached people groups. We believe we can do this by sending out 10 more long-term teams. For an individual to commit to a 10 year mission is no small deal. How do we recruit for this? By exposing young people to the mission field! We send short-term teams with the purpose of being a blessing to our missionaries and the people they work with, but it is much more than that! Short-term trips are part of a larger plan, a long-term plan to reach 49 more ethnic groups who do not yet know Jesus.
