Trips – Post-Trip
The most successful experiences are those that are well planned. You can’t walk into a debate, sports competition, or music contest and expect to do your best without adequate preparation. The same is true with a youth group trip. There are specific details that require planning, and we want to help walk you through the process.
Post-Trip Training
The greatest challenge faced by anyone who organizes a mission trip is how to make the trip truly life-changing, how to transition the changes they made on the trip into “real life.” Our Post-Trip curriculum Mission Life helps you cement the trip experience into students’ lives back home. This curriculum is designed to give your team a platform to debrief, discuss issues, and stay accountable and connected. This resource includes four sessions designed to be used over a six-week period after the trip. Each session includes a Bible study, an activity, and an application section that helps them create goals to move forward.
Mission Life:
The Mission LIfe download includes a Facilitator’s Guide and Student Guide. Provide the Facilitator’s Guide to any adult leader who will facilitate this training and a copy of the Student Guide for each participant. We trust that Mission Life will add great value to your post-trip experience.

One of the easiest things to do when students first get back from a mission trip is to look forward, but it doesn’t take long for them to forget everything they experienced when they were away. The worries they used to have creep back into their lives and their cell phones once again seem outdated. But it doesn’t have to be that way! This book is designed to help your students come home from a mission trip, but stay on the mission road. To not let their trip turn into a mere memory, but to use it as a lesson in living on a mission. Use this journal to help students live out God’s adventure every day.
Reentry: Post Trip Journal
This 4-Week Journal is designed to help your students debrief their mission trip and set milestones in place that help them continue living out God’s mission at home.

- Bible Studies

- Thought-Provoking Experiences
- Hard Questions
- Insights into living everyday life on a mission
Chances are, the things your students saw and did on their mission trip rocked their world. They probably connected with others and met God in a way they didn’t expect. But you know that their trip was only a small taste of a much larger mission, a place to discover things about the world and about themselves that can change everything about their lives back home.
It all depends on their reentry.
Reentry is a resource to help your students transition from that once-in-a-lifetime experience to a life transformed by their experience.
