What is the difference between a Church Mission trip and a Service Adventure?

 A Church Mission adventure is a group of people (youth to seniors) with Church leaders that have come together in unity and purpose to give themselves in service to others. The whole experience is based on Matthew 25:34-40. This is a cross-cultural environment that includes both physical and spiritual labor. The Church Mission experience may typically include some construction or infrastructure need, Vacation Bible school activities, some form of sports ministry, and evening group spiritual activities that are conducted with the integration of "family time".

 The difference a Service Adventure brings is not necessarily in spiritual content or type of program (although for our non-faith based groups spiritual content is flexible). It is the fact that Service Adventures are not run to primarily facilitate a spiritual learning environment for a visiting Church group. Instead, they are set up to best serve the enhanced educational needs of the Mexican children. Thus, they can be more flexible in content, activities, and enhancements. They can also include more mature "add-on" excursions, further travel, as well as upgraded accommodations and food.
