Mission Trips
JOY Short-term mission trips
The purpose of JOY short-term missions teams is to bring the love of Jesus to individuals who have been freed from trafficking or live in high-trafficking risk communities, and to bless those who are working in this fight. We seek to be a light in dark places and bring JOY to individuals around the world!

Come serve the people of Belize and help fight human trafficking by strengthening prevention efforts and anti-trafficking organizations. The primary goal of this trip will be to minister to kids and teens who are in foster care or living in children’s homes; those who have been removed from their families due to abuse, trafficking, or exploitation. We will also focus ministry on the staff and caregivers of these children’s homes, pouring love and encouragement into them. We will split our time between Belmopan and Punta Gorda, Belize, working with various children’s homes and anti-trafficking organizations. Children’s ministry, teen discipleship, and staff encouragement will all be a part of this life-changing trip!
