Inquire about the trip

From the National Tropical Rain Forest of El Yunque to the ancient streets of San Juan Puerto Rico is known to be a wonderful tourist destination and to have a relaxed Caribbean culture. However, life on this island is not what you see in the travel magazines.Nearly half of the population in this beautiful island lives below the poverty line and struggles to find jobs. Your team will partner with a local church that's dedicated to bringing the love of Jesus to their community.

What the Mission Trip Will Be Like

Ministry
Work Projects: Your team may have the opportunity to help local churches or families with cleaning, landscaping, painting, or other light manual labor. There is a wide range of economic status in PR- you may be working with any of them.
Community Outreach: Your team may have the opportunity to visit local homes of some members of the local church and some that are not members of the local church. The pastor will guide your team to which families may be in the most need. Your team will be able to pray for the believers and give them hope in Jesus and share the gospel with those that do not know Jesus.
Children's Ministry: Teams may be able to facilitate some children’s ministry, spending time with them and sharing Jesus with them. These opportunities will depend on your location, the churchs’ needs, and the time of year in which you go.
Sports Ministry: Like children’s ministry, these opportunities will depend on your location, the churchs’ needs, and the time of year in which you go. Basketball and baseball are always the best for engagement.
Solar Lamp or Uzima Water Filter Distribution: Our organization partners with several companies that allow us to purchase solar lamps and water filters at discounted rates. If your team is interested in purchasing some and distributing them during your trip, this would be a great opportunity to not only meet a basic need but also share the Gospel.
Police and Fire Station or Government Office Visits: Teams could have the chance to visit local police and fire stations to pray for the men and women serving the areas. This is a great way to engage with them, encourage them, share your faith with them, and provide them with a special treat as well!
Evangelism: Teams may be able to visit local businesses and share the Gospel with the locals. Places like Walmart tend to have people who are open for prayer and conversation. 
Homeless Shelter Outreach: Depending on the location of your trip, you may have the opportunity to visit a local homeless shelter and serve the staff. There could be a special project your team could help with, but you also may be able to pray and engage with the residents. 
Prayer Walking: Serve alongside a local church and reach out to their community with them. Discover the power of prayer and learn more about God's heart as you pray. 
Please come with flexibility as ministry schedules may change due to unforeseen circumstances.

Lodging
Your team will stay at one of our partner churches where you will have access to bathrooms and showers. Depending on your location and the host church, beds may be provided or you may have to bring air mattresses or camping pads. There also may or may not be air conditioning.

Travel
Your team will fly into San Juan and drive to the ministry site from there. All ground transportation will need to be arranged by your team. We can provide recommendations for rental companies if needed.

Relation of Opportunity to National Church and/or Long-term Goals

It is our privilege to join the local churches who practice community evangelism and the establishment of new churches by loving and helping neighbors, and sharing the Gospel of hope, purpose, and truth with them. We learn so much from them, and share great joy in the experience!

Mission Trip Offered By Adventures in Missions

You want to follow Jesus’s example in the way He cared for the lost and the hurting. You want to take up Jesus’s commission to make disciples of all nations (Matthew 28) and be His witness to the ends of the earth (Acts 1).

Adventures in Missions is an interdenominational missions organization that focuses on discipleship. We emphasize prayer and relationships in our work around the world. We seek to disciple as Jesus did; our vision is that God would use us to raise up a generation of radically committed disciples of Jesus Christ.

Since we were established in 1989, we have taken over 115,000 people into the mission field, some for as short as a week and others for as long as a year or longer. We minister year-round through our ministry bases and strategic ministry partnerships. We believe that by giving people the opportunity to step outside their comfort zones and join what God is doing in other cultures and nations, lives are transformed.
