Bridges of Faith Romania

Mediaș, Romania

Our trip to Romania primarily works to serve Ukrainians. Working with fantastic individuals there, we are drawn to orphan outreach and building those relationships. We also spend time accomplishing physical tasks to support the work of our partners in Romania, including preparing a trauma center for Ukrainian refugees. Recently, we’ve also partnered with Bridges of Faith Romania to provide 20,000 waterproof Ukrainian Bibles.

  • Lodging
    Teams in Chicago will stay either at Sunshine Gospel or at local college apartments owned by Sunshine Gospel.

    Sleeping
    Cots or air mattresses will be provided but you will be responsible to bring your own bedding (sheets, pillow, blanket or sleeping bag and towels).

    Showers
    There will be shower facilities at the housing facilities where teams will be staying.

    Bathrooms
    There will be bathrooms where your team will be staying. Most work and outreach sites will have bathrooms as well. For those that do not, teams will need to take mid-day breaks to use a public restroom.

    Water
    Teams will have access to water throughout the day. Everyone should plan to bring refillable water bottles to stay hydrated throughout the day.

    Electricity
    There is electricity available where you will be staying, as well as at most work and outreach locations.

    Security
    EM works with our partners to ensure the most secure facility possible.

    This is an extreme inner-city mission trip, which will put you and your team in the center of inner-city life as you take part in learning and service projects throughout the day. During your time of service in this location, you may meet people navigating difficult life struggles. People in various stages of drug and alcohol addiction, and those possibly involved in local gangs, prostitution, etc. may cross paths with your team. Their personal need for Christ is extreme. It is through kindness, care, and respect for the dignity of all we meet that we can best share the love of Christ. Please come prepared to step out of your comfort zone as you meet the people of the city with an open heart.

    Food
    A wonderful team of local cooks will be preparing and serving your meals. Breakfast and dinner will be served buffet-style, and your team will pack your lunches. Curious about EM's ability to accommodate specific food restrictions? View EM's Food Policy

    Transportation
    Your team's transportation to, from, and while in Chicago is not covered by the cost of your trip. You will need your vehicles throughout the entire week to transport your team to various locations for work and ministry.

    NOTE: Using a school bus as your main mode of transportation while in this community is NOT an ideal option. 15-passenger vans or smaller are your best choice for transportation in Chicago.

Mount of Olives Children’s Home

Baja California, Mexico

Missions Network International is meeting the needs of the people of Northern Baja, Mexico by caring for orphans and needy in the region. The nature of many families, in this poverty stricken area, is such that the children are left alone, hungry and without medical attention or educational opportunities. God has called many to serve in many unique ways and we are blessed to serve as we are called by Him to be His hands and feet.

Big Creek Missions - Wheelwright

Floyd County, Kentucky

Big Creek Missions serves communities in rural Kentucky with service acts ranging from construction to Christ-centered relationship-building. Our hope is to connect with the members of that community and bring God’s love through teen outreach activities, community engagement, and children’s programs.

Inner City Mission

Springfield, Illinois

Inner City Mission helps the homeless find their way home by giving what is needed to bring about lasting joy, peace, and stability. Shelter, sustenance, clothing, teaching, and Christian mentorship are all elements of the stable environment they provide to children, their parents, and single adults in order to expand joy and peace in each person’s heart, family, friendships, and community.
