Mission Trip For Creatives
I’ve been on several mission trips. Backyard Bible Clubs in Germany. Helping the poor & elderly in Tennessee. Building houses in Mexico. Hugging babies and feeding the hungry in Jamaica. Equipping church planters in Utah.
All of those trips have helped shaped who I am as a person (like most people, I get more out of the trips than the people we’re serving) but it’s always bugged me that I’ve never been able to truly serve in the area of my giftedness. That’s why I was excited when I heard about a mission trip for creatives. The goal is to be…
…a group of creatives and church communication folks descending on a targeted region to help churches and church plants. We’re pairing the talents of those who sign up with church needs, and grouping folks together to serve each church.
These trips will be similar to typical mission trips, as we’ve all experienced them. However, instead of construction projects, outreach events and Bible schools, Creative Missions seeks to aid these same churches in their communication and creative strategies for engaging their communities.

It is an honor to be invited to be a part of this endeavour, and I thank folks like Cleve Persinger, Phil Bowdle, and others who have taken the initiative to get us moving!
Here are a few ways you can be a part:
1. Give Creatively
Want to go with us in May? You will make a huge difference. Even though signups technically ended March 1, there are still several slots available.
2. Give Resourcefully
Would your church or organization be willing to donate resources including printing, sound/tech components, stage design, worship presentation software licenses (ProPresenter and EasyWorship), gas cards, and more? E-mail us.
3. Give Financially
We need sponsors and donations to pay down printing, production resources, ground transportation (sponsor a minivan) and lodging. The great news is CFCC will be handling all monies for us.
