Jesus said, “Go into all the world and make disciples of all people.” (Matthew 28:19)

First Presbyterian Church sends its members on mission trips to be witnesses of Jesus, to serve according to his example, to extend God’s compassion to the needy, and to love others in his name. We invite you to join us in reaching out to our brothers and sisters in other parts of the world. In doing so, you will experience the vastness of Christ’s church and build relationships you will never forget.

2010 Mission Trips
 

Acuna, Mexico           Weekend trips this October and November, and a day trip December 18.
We have a long time partnership with our friends in Acuna at the church, Fuente de Vida.  Every Spring and Fall, we take several weekend trips to visit our friends, so that we can further build our relationship and help the community as needed (minor construction, ministry to children, encouraging the pastor, etc...).  It takes just a few hours to get there, and is a great way to participate in God's ministry in other nations!  Check back later this summer for the exact dates for the October and November trips - and remember - everyone is welcome!
If you would like to go or want more information, please contact Alyssa Payne at alyssap@fpcsat.org or call 210.226.0215.

La Meseta, Domican Republic                        July 10-17, 2010
This summer, we'll continue our partnership with Food for the Hungry on several Christian community development projects in the small village of La Meseta which is located near the Haitian border.  We will work on building our relationship with the community, as well as building up the community through home visits, Vacation Bible School, and improving sanitation and overall health by building latrines.
This trip is full, but if you would like to go on a future trip or want more information, please contact Alyssa Payne at alyssap@fpcsat.org or call 210.226.0215.

2011 Mission Trips
 

Medical Mission Trip                 San Cosme, Mexico                     March 2011
This trip is so much more than a medical clinic! While down in the Yucatan the team will work with Yucatan Peninsula Missions, an organization supported by FPC that ministers to the people in the Yucatan year round. The medical mission team will set up a clinic to see patients, administer medicines and vitamins as well as do regular check ups to patients that may not have access to medical care. The team will also have an opportunity to minister spiritually to those who are coming in for physical help. Partnering with the local church, the team will have the opportunity to participate in bible studies, lead a VBS, and plan recreational activities for the children who are waiting. Medical professionals are certainly needed, but there are also many other jobs to do, so we welcome anyone willing to serve!
If you would like to go or want more information, please contact Alyssa Payne at alyssap@fpcsat.org or call 210.226.0215.  You may also talk to the trip leader, Danny Mathews, by emailing him at This e-mail address is being protected from spambots, you need JavaScript enabled to view it .

Vietnam                       Spring 2011:   Tentative Dates: March 16-31, 2011
Next Spring FPC will be taking a trip with Vets with a Mission (VWAM) to the country of Vietnam.  We will be offering help in a medical clinic and ministering to the local people.  This trip will be led by Jess Mayfield, who went with VWAM to Vietnam in 2009.  This trip is open to anyone, but is especially meaningful to people that served in the Vietnam War, as it allows you to see the country and experience God in a powerful new way.
If you would like to go or want more information, please contact Alyssa Payne at alyssap@fpcsat.org or call 210.226.0215.

La Meseta, Domican Republic                     Summer 2011
Next summer, we'll continue our partnership with Food for the Hungry on several Christian community development projects in the small village of La Meseta.  It is important to note that our official partnership with this small village will be ending in 2013, as our visits and work in this community have the purpose of helping them to become self-sustaining.  The summer trip of 2011 will be one of the last few trips that FPC will be making to this village in the Dominican Republic, so please take advantage of this amazing opportunity to serve our wonderful friends in the D.R.!
If you would like to go or want more information, please contact Alyssa Payne at alyssap@fpcsat.org or call 210.226.0215.
