CONNECT

When you travel with Mission Trips Uganda, you will make friends with some of the friendliest people you could hope to meet. You will learn about the culture, climate, and community in Uganda and gain a perspective on God’s creation you never knew.

SERVE

Each trip offers team members an opportunity to share in the experience of serving others whether it is spending time with our staff and the children we serve, leading worship time in the local community or delivering food to hungry.

GROW

In essence, mission trips are about building relationships. As you walk alongside other believers in service, prayer and fellowship, God’s unique purpose and calling in your life becomes more evident. Spiritual growth is a very personal experience and Mission Trips Uganda is blessed to share with each team member who joins our family.

Volunteer Abroad

Submerge yourself into the Ugandan culture; from the sights, sounds, smells, food, people and clothing – going on a trip to visit a the Buwooya Village our partner Community is an amazing experience. Whether you are wanting to organize a trip with your local church or school; or join our team on a missions trip – your life will be forever changed.
