WHAT WILL I DO ON A MISSION TRIP?
In Kenyan culture, a visitor is a blessing from God. You will see it in the delighted smiles on the faces of the street boys in Eastleigh and the students in Kamulu. They are overjoyed and honored that someone has come to visit them.
A typical mission trip group spends the majority of their time staying on our campus in Kamulu. Volunteers will spend lots of time with the students as they go about their daily lives: chores, meals, chapel, school and play. Groups also serve at our center in Eastleigh, helping with our programs there and going on base walks to build relationships with street kids. If the schedule allows, it is common for a group to plan activities for the students such as a soccer camp, VBS, field day, camping trip, formal dinner... you name it! If a 12- to 18-year-old in the United States would enjoy it, chances are MITS students will enjoy it too.
Another common purpose for mission trip teams is some sort of service opportunity. In the past, teams have run medical clinics, helped with grounds upkeep or beautification, or contributed skills to the many operations of the organization (such as curriculum writing, professional development for our staff, etc.)
What you will find when you arrive is that your very presence is life-giving to our staff and students. We can't wait to meet you in person and say "Karibu Kenya!"
