Be empowered to live missionally.
What does it look like to live an embodied, holistic, and missional Christian life? Our relationship with Jesus can often feel disconnected from ministry and other parts of life. We believe that spiritual transformation is at the heart of fruitful missional engagement. On P2C Mission Trips, you will learn how to integrate your everyday life with mission. Be empowered to live missionally through the Holy Spirit as you learn how to thoughtfully and lovingly engage in the joys and complexities of God’s restorative work to help people come to know him.

Why a digital mission trip?
Even though our world has changed in the last year, God’s heart for people has stayed the same. God is at work globally, in our cities, and even in our digital neighbourhoods. We want to take this opportunity to join God in what he is already doing. During times of restriction, there are still abundant opportunities for us to show and share the love of Christ.
As a missional community, we will discover, learn and participate with God in a variety of online ministry opportunities. We hope that this mission trip will not only help us learn new things about online missional engagement, but help us grow holistically. Together, we will engage in learning environments and relational spaces that lead to fresh encounters with God, personal growth, and a fuller understanding of what it means to be a missional Christian.
How will we engage in God’s work?
Each participant will have the opportunity to choose a ministry focus area in their application. These are the current areas of focus.
House of Worship:
Join House of Worship, the music and arts division of P2C-Students, as we encourage students to take heart through music and the arts online. The trip focus area will consist of learning how to share the gospel with music and the arts, followed by exciting opportunities to bring songs of hope to students through a variety of online platforms. At the time of the application, you will be asked to fill out a Google form with questions about your musical background, experience, and recording equipment you have access to.
Desert Rain:
We will partner with the local team in Desert Rain to engage with students online. We will learn about the culture, the people of Desert Rain, and how to contextualize the gospel. Through this, we desire to grow in our understanding of how God is at work in this region.
East Asia:
We will be working alongside our East Asia team to meet students online. We will learn about the culture in East Asia, make cross-cultural friends, culturally contextualize the gospel, and grow in our understanding of how God is at work in East Asia.
Japan with OMF:
We will be partnering with local teams from multiple groups to participate and experience what God is doing across Japan. We will learn what it means to contextualize the Gospel in a Japanese culture as we see what God is doing in every part of His Kingdom in Japan.
