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.
Upcoming Trips:
Spring, Summer, and Fall 2021
Cost: $6000
Cost includes: airfare, visas, hotels, taxis, food, helicopter, admin fee, and flights in PNG. The cost pretty much includes everything, except your passport, shots, and souvenirs.
Who & What: This trip is open to Pastors, Missions Leaders, and those who are strongly considering missions. Visit a village and see first-hand what it looks like to live in a tribal location. We will spend a few days serving and interacting with the church planting team.
We will also spend a few days in the town of Madang, interacting with our logistics coordinators.
