Short-Term Missions
We are serious about missions and being mission-minded. Projects are strategic in nature and part of a larger evangelistic, holistic strategy, focused on meeting the spiritual and physical needs of the local people, particularly the 'least of these' such as widows, fatherless, displaced people. Certain projects are in areas of high human trafficking where 'least of these' people are the most susceptible to kidnapping, exploitation, etc.
BLINC for the world: opportunities may include rebuilding homes after a disaster, witnessing to the community, constructing an orphanage, helping in missions mobilization, or teaching widows.
This is neither a vacation nor camp but a life changing event! Experience of a lifetime-eternal rewards.
Distinctives
Multigenerational Teams -We love for grandparents to serve with their grandkids. No prior experience is necessary.
Cross-cultural - Experience what God is doing in other parts of the world
Lodge with local, Christian host families as appropriate
Servant-minded - Partnering to learn serve, not show, our brothers and sisters in Christ.
Turn-key trips on a missions budget. All trips are arranged with new groups in mind and are escorted by a BLINC missionary from the point of departure, who travels with and works alongside the group the entire time.
Levels of Exposure
Choose from the different Levels of Exposure for your Mission Project
Level I - Slight cultural difference but similar language
Level II - Different language and culture, moderate accommodations
Level III - Different language and severe cultural differences with limited living conveniences.
