This team encourages, loves, supports, and serves alongside the Siempre Familia Iglesia de Cristo, joining Manuel & Nancy Gonzalez in their ministry in the Hispanic community of Rosemont in Fort Worth. Siempre Familia is a domestic church plant of Great Cities Missions, an organization focused on training and placing missionaries and church planting throughout Latin America.

The trip consists of community and church engagement in a variety of ways, including Bible studies, youth/teen activities, sharing meals together, visiting in homes of church members, and more. Additional activities vary based on the skill sets and passions of team members, as well as the current needs of Siempre Familia.

Lipscomb Academy partners with Manna Global Ministries to serve the Dominican people of Bobita and Rio San Juan.  Our work consists of spending time playing with and encouraging the kids and Staff of Manna Children's Home as well as the students of Manna Christian School a 10th-12th grade high school.  During our time in the DR we conduct a VBS in Bobita and have community events that help encourage the local church as well as help conduct activities at the Rio San Juan Inner City Children's Ministry program. We are involved in work projects that contribute to the continuing expansion of Manna Global Ministries.

The Navajo mission trip is a journey to serve the Navajo people in many different ways. Each year is different depending on what the people or the church need that year. That can range from planting trees, digging trenches, painting houses, and more. This team will worship, eat, have Bible studies, and fellowship with the Navajo people and their children while there. After serving and working, the beautiful Navajo landscape serves as a reminder of God as Creator. The team has the opportunity to adventure on the landscape while serving and loving the Navajo people and the church.

The Guatemala Team travels to a Rio Honodo, a smaller city outside of Guatemala City and works with the Biblical Institute of Central America, or BICA for short. BICA works to train and equip missionaries throughout Central America and when Lipscomb Academy students join them for a week they go on “campaign” and focus on evangelism. This team also has a unique medical component and students take turns working in the mobile medical clinic. Unlike most other medical missions, our high school students are able to have hands-on access to medical procedures and often take vitals themselves. They partner with our Ignite Health Sciences program to bring this unique opportunity to our community.

Our Kenya team partners with Made in the Streets to give our students a unique and powerful two week experience in Kenya. This trip is unique in a lot of ways, including that it is currently our longest trip. While serving at MITS our students stay on the MITS campus and build relationships with the students at the school. They also travel to some of the Made in the Streets bases within Nairobi to fully understand the MITS mission. In the middle of their trip they take a weekend safari to not only experience the beauty and wildlife and Africa but also to better understand the Kenyan culture. Students are guaranteed to have a unique and powerful experience in Kenya.
